§ Mr. John GarrettTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the drinking water supply in his Department's head office building meets the European Economic Community standard.
§ Mr. ChopeThe Marsham street building is supplied with water by Thames Water, and since no drinking water is stored on the premises, the PSA does not take samples for analysis unless there is reason to suspect the quality of the water.
I am advised by Thames Water that in 1988, the last year for which complete records are available, the supply generally complied with the European Community directive.
