§ Mr. Bradfordasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if refunding of water charges in respect of those who have not been provided with water has taken place in Great Britain in the years 1973 to 1976.
§ Mr. Denis HowellThe Water Charges Act 1976 placed on water authorities in England and Wales a duty to refund all water rates or charges paid in the financial years 1974–75 and 1975–76 in respect of properties without a water supply, and so far as I am aware the water authorities have discharged this duty.
