Mr. Waldegrave

I refer the hon. Member to the answers I gave him on 26 October — [Vol. 47, c.117–21.] and 29 November— [Vol. 49, c. 455.] One further non-executive member has since been appointed to Southern water authority. He is Mr. M. A. C. Drummond, a farmer and company director — Newtown Oyster Fishery — and a countryside commissioner. The only full-time water authority members are the executives. The chairmen and remaining members are part-time.

Chairmen and executives' salaries are as follows:

Mr. Waldegrave
