HC Deb 25 June 1981 vol 7 cc185-6W
Miss Fookes

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to announce his decision regarding the site of an additional reservoir to serve Plymouth and the surrounding areas in the light of the need for an urgent decision on the issue.

Mr. Giles Shaw

As I said in the letter that I wrote to my hon. Friend on 23 June on this matter, we have just received the response of the South-West water authority to our request asking it to explore more fully the possibilities of the Higher Horslett site. This is being urgently considered.
