§ Mr. H. BrookeThe Welsh Advisory Water Committee has held five meetings since its appointment in March, 1958. I understand that it is engaged on the preparation of a comprehensive report to submit to me in due course. In the meantime, since the Committee was appointed, I have taken action designed to accelerate the regrouping of water undertakings in various parts of Wales, including Montgomeryshire and Cardiganshire; I have submitted a report to Parliament on the Milford Haven (Tidal Barrage) Bill; I have made a number of orders under the Water Act; and I have recently decided to make a further order under this Act providing for a major abstraction scheme in the Gwyrfai rural district in Caernarvonshire.
