§ Mr. Simeonsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he will publish the names of those appointed to the Management Structure Committee set up to consider the Reorganisation of Water and Sewerage, together with their present professional appointments;
(2) why he appointed only one representative of sewage disposal interests to the Management Structure Committee set up to consider the Reorganisation of Water and Sewerage; and if he will take steps to bring additional expertise upon sewage disposal to the committee to ensure that in the unavoidable absense of its sole representative sewerage problems will be represented.
