HC Deb 01 August 1984 vol 65 c379W
Mr. Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what discussions he has had with Liverpool city council regarding the future use of the site of the international garden festival.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I have had no discussions with Liverpool city council on this subject. The council has a legal agreement with the Merseyside Development Corporation to take over part of the site after the festival closes in October.

Mr. Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what advice his Department has given concerning the water situation at the Liverpool international garden festival.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

Responsibility for the operation of the festival lies with the Merseyside Development Corporation but I understand it is in close contact with the North West water authority about the supply of water to the site.
