asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the drainage and sewerage arrangements at Martham, in Norfolk, appear to be below the standard aimed at by his Department;, and if he will cause an investigation to be made with a view to recommending some improvements, both of a short-term and long-term character.

I am aware of the need for improvement. The Blofield and Flegg Rural District Council have prepared a scheme for the area which has been considered by the County Council. I am inviting the former to submit the scheme to me for investigation.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
