Water Resources Act, 1963 (Licences of Right)

HC Deb 01 February 1966 vol 723 c187W

55. Mr. Brian Harrison

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if, in view of the fact that he has laid orders to grant an extension of time for the dealing with applications for licences of right under the Water Resources Act 1963, he will now lay an order to permit the time for accepting applications for licences of right to be extended to 6th July, 1964.

Mr. MacColl

The time limit for making applications for licences of right was laid down in the Water Resources Act 1963, and could be extended only by legislation.
