§ Mr. Nicholas Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will announce whom he intends to appoint as Chairman of the Welsh National Water Development Authority if the Water Bill becomes law.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasYes. If Parliament passes the Water Bill in its present form and accepts the order, prescribing the constitution of the Welsh Authority, which I propose to lay before it when the Bill becomes law, I intend to offer the appointment as chairman to Lord Brecon, who has indicated that he would be happy to accept.
