HC Deb 02 November 1988 vol 139 c681W
38. Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the capital expenditure plans submitted by the Thames water authority will be finalised before his Department makes a decision about compliance with the PAH standard in the European Community directive relating to the quality of drinking water.

Mr. Moynihan

If any need for capital expenditure to achieve compliance with the PAH standard in the EC directive were identified, it would be incorporated in the capital expenditure plans of the Thames water authority or its successor utility company.
