HC Deb 16 October 1975 vol 897 c756W
25. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how long the working party on water safety has been at work; on how many occasions it has met: when its report may be expected; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Summerskill

The working party held its first meeting on 23rd July 1974 and has to far met four times. It operates chiefly through study groups which examine particular problems and report back. We expect to receive the working party's final report early next year.
