HC Deb 23 July 1968 vol 769 c51W
34. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is satisfied with the emergency arrangements put into operation by local authorities in the event of a burst water pipe necessitating the cutting off of supplies of water to the area concerned; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Greenwood

The arrangements appear to be generally satisfactory. Regrouping into larger undertakings is enabling those of some small water undertakers to be improved. If the hon. Member has any particular case in mind I will certainly make inquiries.
