HC Deb 25 May 1976 vol 912 cc177-8W
Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation of a general nature to make it mandatory for water companies to supply piped water to houses in urban areas without charging for pipe laying.

Mr. Denis Howell

I have no evidence to suggest that the present division of financial responsibilities for service pipes, as between water undertakers and consumers, is generally unfair and in need of alteration.
