HC Deb 25 March 1983 vol 39 cc511-2W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has received any recent representations urging the introduction of rebates for domestic water rates in order to benefit the needy, including single householders.

Mr. Giles Shaw

In the last three months the Department has received eight such representations from Members and private individuals. This figure does not include representations from consumers who sought a refund of charges because of hardship suffered during the recent water strike.
