asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Breconshire County Council have made approaches, over 12 months ago, for the setting up of a Joint Advisory Water Committee for the county; and when he is likely to make a decision.

Yes. One of my engineering inspectors has nearly completed a detailed survey of the resources and supplies of the South Wales Development Area, including the major part of the county, and any decision will be deterred until the survey has been considered.
