§ 64. Mr. Jegerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what action he is taking to expedite the Knottingley-Osgoldcross joint sewerage scheme, which has been subjected to continuous delay since 1948.
§ Mr. CorfieldThe Knottingley and Osgoldcross Councils first submitted a joint scheme to the Department in 1959; but the site proposed for the disposal works proved unsuitable and revised proposals were made and approved in principle in 1962. Detailed plans came in two months ago.
152WMy right hon. Friend has now had to ask the Councils to consider adjusting the scheme to help neighbouring Pontefract; but this should not cause any appreciable delay to the start of the scheme.
