Severn-Trent Water Authority

HC Deb 31 July 1978 vol 955 cc157-9W

Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take

maps being considered by his Department, which was sent by him to the hon. Member for Stockport, North.

Mr. Marks

Yes, the table is as follows:

steps to reorganise the boundaries of the Severn-Trent water authority so that it does not operate within the boundaries of Wales.

Mr. Marks

No. The present boundaries of the water authorities are based on the principle of integrated river basin management, which is essential to the organisation of the industry.
