HC Deb 18 February 1969 vol 778 cc66-7W
68. Mr. Ogden

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will receive a joint deputation from the Liverpool and Birmingham City Councils, to discuss with them the provision of compensation for the damage caused by acts of sabotage to the water supply installations of those cities.

Mr. K. Robinson

I have sent my hon. Friend copies of replies to Liverpool City Council's representations on the question of compensation. These explain my right hon. Friend's refusal to make extra-statutory Exchequer payments. If my hon. Friend still wishes to bring a joint deputation from the two city councils perhaps he will write to me to arrange this.
