Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT under headings of existing river authorities the estimated numbers of persons, or a range of numbers, at present employed fully and/or partially in sewage disposal and the equivalent numbers who, under the Government proposals, will in future be employed by regional water authorities and local authorities, respectively.

Mr. Graham Page

This information is not immediately available because in some local authorities staff are employed partly on sewerage and sewage disposal and partly on other functions. The reports of the local steering committees and working parties should, however, enable an assessment to be made of the number of staff whom the regional water authorities will require for sewerage and sewage disposal.
