§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that the Grand Junction Waterworks Company have recently raised their water rate charges 20 per cent. in the Teddington District; and will he ascertain whether this company have raised their charges in all the other districts they serve.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. WALTER LONG,) Bristol, S.I am informed that the Grand Junction Waterworks Company have not recently raised their charges for water supplied for domestic purposes either in Teddington or any other part of their district, and that if there has been an increased charge in any particular case, this is probably due to some addition to the supply for other than domestic purposes.
