HC Deb 13 November 1980 vol 992 cc310-1W
Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if, having regard to the proposed 27 per cent. increase by the Southern water authority in its charges for sewage disposal, he will now refer the authority to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

My right hon. Friend has no immediate plans to refer the Southern water authority to the Commission, but intends to refer a number of water authorities in due course.
