HC Deb 21 May 1974 vol 874 c110W
Mr. Winterton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is aware of the impact which the increased water charges will have on farm costs; and if he will take appropriate action in this matter.

Mr. Buchan

I am aware that there will be increases in water charges following the introduction of new scales by the water authorities. These increases will be taken into account at the next Annual Review.
