HC Deb 05 August 1976 vol 916 c974W
Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the average annual billper capita paid out for unmetered domestic and metered industrial public water supplies.

Mr. Denis Howell

For 1976–77, I estimate the average per capita bill for unmeasured water supply at £6.63 in water authority areas. The equivalent figure for domestic supply is £5.52. Since measured water supplies go to large users of water, including industry, I do not understand the concept of an average per capita bill for measured supplies.
