HC Deb 26 January 1972 vol 829 c425W
12. Mr. Sutcliffe

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in the context of the reorganisation of water services, whether he proposes that the charges for water services will continue to be calculated on a basis of the general rate.

Mr. Peter Walker

Pending further consultations, there is nothing that I can add to paragraphs 34–41 of the Explanatory Memorandum appended to the Department's Circular No. 92/71, a copy of which I am sending to my hon. Friend.
