§ Mr. Hiltonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs, if he will give the latest available number and percentage of dwellings in rural areas not 89W connected with a piped water supply, and yet connected to mains sewerage, respectively.
§ Mr. CorfieldIt is estimated that rather less than 300,000 dwellings in rural areas, or about 10 per cent., are without a main water supply. More accurate information will be available in due course from the 1961 census. I regret that a similar estimate of dwellings without main drainage is not available.
