Mr. Graham Page

(M) denotes a metropolitan county. In each case where it is proposed that a county should be represented on a regional water authority half of the members would be appointed by the county council and half by the district councils in the county, except in those cases marked*, where between one-sixth and one-quarter of the population of a county will be within the area of a regional water authority and there would be one member, appointed by the county council. In the case of the Thames Water Authority the Greater London Council would appoint 10 members, and the London borough councils and the Common Council of the City of London would between them appoint 10 members.

Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will tabulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT, in sequence of the proposed regional water authorities, the names of each existing river authority showing for each: the number of persons employed, the approxi- mate mileage of navigable and non-navigable watercourses, respectively, the number of operational navigational locks and the names of other navigation authorities in the area of each authority.

Mr. Graham Page

*Numbers of employees for these authorities are shown by the Regional Water Authority in which the larger part of the River Authority exists.

Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will tabulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT, in sequence of the proposed regional water authorities, the names of each existing river authority and for each state the number of employees of river, water and sewerage authorities, respectively, the total abstractions in millions of gallons per day by water undertakers and licensed

Note: There are a small number of cases where the boundaries proposed for water authorities in Schedule 1 to the Water Bill depart from those of the present river authorities. The figures given above relate to complete river authority areas, but the difference is likely to be small. The figures of abstractions represent average daily abstractions during 1971 and exclude small abstractions. The figures of expenditure relate to 1970–71 in the case of river authorities and 1971–72 in the case of statutory water undertakers.

Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will tabulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT, in sequence of the proposed regional water authorities, the names of each existing river authority and for each state the names of each statutory water undertaker showing for each the approximate quantity of water processed in millions of gallons per day, and the number of employees, the names of each sewerage authority, the names of each internal drainage board, and the approximate total of employees, with totals for each regional water authority.

abstractors, respectively, and the total approximate revenue expenditure of river, water and sewerage authorities, respectively, all to be totalled for regional water authorities.

Mr. Graham Page

The information about the employees and the revenue expenditure of sewerage authorities is not immediately available. The other information is as follow:

Mr. Graham Page

The names of statutory water undertakers—showing the quantity of water supplied daily—sewerage authorities and internal drainage boards are set out below.

The number of persons employed by water undertakers can only be shown as regional totals. The information about employees of sewerage authorities and internal drainage boards is not immediately available.

For the names of river authorities I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to a similar Question today.
