HC Deb 21 February 1972 vol 831 c192W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what further consideration he has given to the constitution of the proposed Welsh Water Authority; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Thomas

It is not proposed to reach a decision on the constitution of the Welsh National Water Development Authority until account can be taken of the findings of the Commission on the Constitution.

Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will site the offices of the new Welsh Water Authority in Mid-Wales, in view of the importance of the Mid-Wales area in the provision of water resources.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I trust that the Welsh National Water Development Authority will have its headquarters in one of the smaller towns of Wales but it is too early to be more precise.
