Having regard to the need to conserve the available capital for the schemes of highest priority, I cannot say when I will be in a position to convey a decision to the local authority on this scheme, contract documents for which are under consideration in my Department.

Will the Minister state if he has notified the council that he is not prepared to sanction the scheme?

Do I take it from the Minister's reply that this area will be waiting for years for a sewerage scheme?
Comment on this
No. The documents were lodged in my Department in October, 1976. They have been there for only four months since I became Minister.

At this stage I cannot give such an undertaking. Of course, I will see what I can do.
