§ Mr. Colemanasked the Secretary of State for Wales what tasks he has set the Welsh Water Committee.
§ Mr. James GriffithsI have asked the Welsh Water Committee, in association with the Severn River Authority, to report on the lines along which the water resources of the Welsh part of the Severn Basin should be developed having regard (a) to the likely demand for water from this source up to about 1990 and (b) the need to utilise these assets in the interests of the area itself, as well as of outside consumers, through making abundant supplies of water available for incoming industries and population, through improvement of amenities, the promotion of tourism and the alleviation of flooding.
