§ 14. Mr. Murtonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he intends to take to prevent a rise in the water rates of Poole, in view of the proposal that the present Poole and East Dorset Water Board should become part of a new Dorset Water Board.
§ Mr. MacCollMy right hon. Friend is expecting the water undertakers concerned to put to him an agreed order setting up the new board. The order will contain their proposals for charges; if it provides for differential charges in favour of Poole for a limited period, he will consider this sympathetically.
