§ 44. Mr. Mikardoasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether it remains his policy as set out in Circular 52/56 to encourage the regrouping of water undertakings.
§ Mr. H. BrookeYes, Sir.
§ Mr. MikardoMay I assume from that answer that the Thames Valley scheme, which has been jointly sponsored by Reading Borough and Berkshire County and falls well within the ambit of the circular, will have the right hon. Gentleman's sympathetic consideration and, subject to details, his approval?
§ Mr. BrookeEverything has my careful consideration, but the hon. Gentleman's Question was framed in general terms and so was my Answer.
