HC Deb 20 May 1974 vol 874 c2W
Mr. Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if she will ask the Price Commission to investigate the water rate precept proposed to be levied by the North-West Regional Water Authority.

Mr. Maclennan

I understand that the Price Commission is already looking into the increases made by the North-West Water Authority in its charges for water.

Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection whether the Price Commission has decided to pursue examination of the water charges of the Yorkshire Water Authority after its initial investigation.

Mr. Maclennan

This is a matter for the Price Commission.
