HC Deb 20 July 1984 vol 64 c340W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he is satisfied that consumers in Wales are fully aware of the guidance given in DOE lead in potable water technical note No. 2.

Mr. John Stradling Thomas

It is for the Welsh water authority to decide in which area to recommend the use of the "flushing policy" set out in the lead in potable water technical note No. 2 and accordingly advise consumers of the appropriate action to take.

The note was prepared in 1980 as a short-term guide for particular problem areas until such time as long-term treatment of water supplies is implemented by the authority.
