asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that there is no water supply or system of sewerage in the village and district of Pandy Iudur, near Llanrwst, in the County of Denbigh; that young families are leaving the district because the local authority cannot build houses without a water supply; and what proposals he has in mind to deal with the situation.

I am aware that there is no piped water supply or sewerage in the area. Grant has been promised on such part of a temporary scheme for water supply as can be incorporated in a projected comprehensive scheme for the area, and amended proposals from the Hiraethog Rural District Council are awaited. The district council have submitted outline sewerage proposals and they have been asked for particulars so that a provisional allocation of grant can be made. The council were asked on 17th May if they intended to proceed with the sewerage proposals.
