HC Deb 16 May 1961 vol 640 c120W
54. Commander Kerans

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he will seek powers to increase Government financial assistance to local authorities for urgent modernisation of sewage disposal.

Sir K. Joseph

No. I know no reason for increasing the assistance already available to local authorities through the rate deficiency grant and, in rural localities, the Rural Water Supplies and Sewerage Acts.
