§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will investigate the increase in charges for sprinkler installations to reduce damage caused by fire, imposed by each water authority; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. FoxWe are not aware of any general tariff increases for this type of service. There is a problem in one area resulting from tariff changes introduced in April 1978. We intend to follow this up with the National Water Council and the water authority concerned.
