HC Deb 02 May 1974 vol 872 cc550-2W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will ask the Price Commission to scrutinise the water and sewerage charges made by the Yorkshire Water Board.

Mr. Denis Howell

I understand that the Price Commission is in touch with the Yorkshire Water Board about the increases it has made in charges for water but that the Price Code cannot apply this year to charges for sewerage, since last year that service was financed by the general rate funds and not by charges.
