HC Deb 02 February 1984 vol 53 c284W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales when he will publish the Government's response to the report of the Committee on Welsh Affairs entitled, "Water in Wales".

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

I have today laid before Parliament the Government's response to the Committee's report. I have also written to the chairman of the Committee with some observations on the way in which this particular inquiry was undertaken. I have suggested that improvements need to be made in the way that evidence is taken in the future and have offered to consider with the Committee how this might be achieved. I have placed a copy of my letter in the Library.
