HC Deb 13 November 1978 vol 958 cc117-8W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales in what circumstances he will make emergency financial provision for local authorities to take urgent action to overcome problems such as lead poisoning in the water supply on council house estates.

Mr. Barry Jones

It is not Government policy to provide special financial assistance towards the cost of replacing lead pipes in council houses. The matter is, however, at present under review.
