asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware of the widespread concern amongst householders in all parts of the country over the policy of water companies in increasing charges for water supplies following the recent general increase in assessments; and why he approved this increase.

The answer to the first part of the Question is "No." With regard to the second part, I have not approved any increases in the charges of water companies for this year.
