§ 45. Mr. Spearingasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what response he has received to date in respect of his consultation paper on public participation in water management; and what steps he intends to take to publicise his conclusions in this matter other than publication of a Bill in Parliament.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsComments have been received from a large number of individual local authorities and water boards but I am still waiting for comments from most of the national bodies which were consulted. When these have been fully reviewed, my right hon. Friend and I will consider what publicity is necessary.
