HC Deb 30 June 1993 vol 227 c516W
20. Mr. Bill Michie

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what discussions he has held with the Director General of the Office of Water Services on the issue of compulsory water metering.

Mr. Yeo

I have discussed a range of issues with the director general, including water metering. But it is for each water company to determine its method of charging, subject to the overriding requirement that they do not show undue preference to or unduly discriminate against any class or group of customers.
