View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 144 and 199 together.
My Department is currently developing proposals to support the provision of waste water collection and treatment requirements for villages and similar settlements that do not have access to public waste water infrastructure. I propose to make a further announcement on this aspect of the Programme in the coming weeks.
