HC Deb 25 February 1965 vol 707 c150W
Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is the total proposed investment for the improvement of water supplies for the next five years; and whether it is anticipated that this total investment will keep up with the increase in total demand over this period.

Mr. MacColl

Public investment generally is now under review and my right hon. Friend cannot anticipate decisions on this. But the level of investment in water supplies will necessarily take into account the expected increase in demand.
