HC Deb 03 May 1966 vol 727 c89W
Mr. Rose

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether, in considering proposals in connection with water conservation, he will consult the Secretary of State for Education and Science with a view to consideration of the possible uses of such projects for sailing and other forms of recreation.

Mr. MacColl

Yes, whenever necessary. It is the Government's policy to encourage the use of reservoirs for recreational purposes where this can be done without endangering the public water supply.
