HC Deb 17 February 1971 vol 811 cc461-2W
115. Sir D. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will now authorise the full feasibility study of storage of fresh water in the Wash as recommended by the Water Resources Board.

Mr. Graham Page

I have not yet completed the consideration of the Board's report and consultations which must precede an announcement. I appreciate the need for an early decision and I expect to be able to announce conclusions shortly.
