HC Deb 30 May 1968 vol 765 cc253-4W
39. Mr. Tudor Watkins

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what remits have been submitted to the Welsh Committee of the Water Resources Board on the conservation and use of water resources in Wales; and whether surveys have taken place which cover Breconshire or Radnorshire.

Mr. George Thomas

The Committee is constantly concerned with developments affecting the conservation and use of water resources in Wales. It has paid particular attention to the water resources of the Severn basin and in this connection has commissioned surveys which have included two sites in the Dulas Valley which lie partly in Radnorshire.

Mr. Tudor Watkins

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether the Welsh Advisory Water Committee set up in February, 1958 is still in existence; and whether the Welsh Committee of the Water Resources Board has the same terms of reference.

Mr. George Thomas

The Welsh Advisory Water Committee was superseded by the Welsh Committee of the Water Resources Board in July, 1965. That Committee has similar terms of reference, namely, to advise on matters connected with the conservation and use of water resources in Wales.
