§ Mr. Maxwell-Hyslopasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will arrange for the Inland Revenue to supply water authorities with a list of those rated properties which are not connected to mains sewerage, so that the latter can relieve such properties of charges for services which they do not receive.
