HC Deb 26 June 1984 vol 62 c401W
Mr. Hayward

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on water supplies in Scotland.

Mr. Ancram

Reservoir levels and river flows in Scotland are generally lower than usual for this time of year. A few hosepipe bans are in force, or under consideration, mainly as precautionary measures, in some rural areas. The position is, however, at present satisfactory and is not causing the water authorities undue concern.
