§ 35. Rear-Admiral Morgan-Gilesasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will order an investigation into the extent to which fresh water used by industry could be recycled so as to effect economies in the use of fresh water.
§ Mr. Denis HowellI doubt whether a general investigation would be of value bearing in mind the very varied circumstances and needs of different industries and indeed of different works. The water authorities and the industries concerned are co-operating in seeking further economies with the encouragement of my Department.
