HC Deb 20 June 1967 vol 748 c215W
39. Dr. Winstanley

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will withhold consent to the introduction of mandatory powers to enforce the installation of dual flush cisterns by water undertakings; and if he will introduce regulations to ensure that these cisterns are only installed in association with wash-down pans.

Mr. MacColl

These cisterns can save much water and my right hon. Friend would not feel justified in refusing to entertain draft byelaws to make their use mandatory. But it has been suggested that their use with syphonic pans causes difficulties, and he is considering what advice he can give to water undertakings who are preparing such byelaws.
