HC Deb 18 November 1969 vol 791 cc241-2W
92. Mr. Carlisle

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why he has refused to sanction the provision of a public sewerage scheme for houses in Proffits Lane, Hetsby, for which an application for grant was made by the Runcorn Rural District Council on 13th June, 1969.

Mr. Denis Howell

The council's application has been deferred because of the present need to restrict public expenditure, as I am advised there is no risk to health.
