HC Deb 14 April 1975 vol 890 cc17-8W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy on requiring the Greater London Council and other London boroughs to

to take such steps as are reasonably practicable to put their rights to the use of water, and associated land, to the best use for recreation purposes. At the same time they are required in fixing charges to have regard to the cost of providing the service concerned.

I understand that the North West Water Authority is reviewing the extent to which the opening of reservoirs for angling—and other suitable recreation—can be expanded.
