HC Deb 05 July 1972 vol 840 c136W
81. Mr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received in connection with the drying-up of spring water supplies in the Colne Valley; and what action he has taken.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

In addition to an inquiry from the hon. Member, one letter has been received alleging that water is being taken from streams unlawfully. The writer has been advised that this issue is one for determination by a court.
