68. Mr. W. H. K. Bakerasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied that the implementation of the financial provisions of the Water (Scotland) Act are in accordance with his proposals in submitting the Bill to Parliament; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RossThe financial provisions of the Bill as introduced were amended before enactment. As I expected, however, the Act will result in a levelling-out of the water rates in each region over a period of years.
