HC Deb 01 May 1973 vol 855 cc1199-200

WATER CHARGES

Mr. Simeons

I beg to move Amendment No. 71, in page 29, line 23, leave out 'three' and insert 'five'.

There is at present a variety of charges and a variety of systems of charges. The object of the amendment is to give a longer transitional period than is at present envisaged.

Mr. Graham Page

I recommend the House to accept the amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Further consideration of the Bill, as amended, adjourned.—[Mr. Graham Page.]

Bill, as amended (in the Standing Committee), to be further considered tomorrow.

ADJOURNMENT

Motion made, and Question proposed, That this House do now adjourn.—[Mr. Jopling.]
