HC Deb 13 April 1967 vol 744 c219W
15. Mr. Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what consideration he has given to the introduction of legislation in respect of Wales analogous to that recently introduced for the better administration of water boards and water development boards in Scotland.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

Legislation on Scottish lines would not be appropriate for Wales where the amalgamation of public supply water undertakings into large units has already made very good progress and where the provisions of the Water Resources Act, 1963, apply.
