HC Deb 25 February 1985 vol 74 c39W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish in the Official Report a list of the major schemes, expected to cost more than £350,000, included in the capital programme of the Welsh water authority since 1 January 1983.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

This is a matter for the Welsh water authority. I have asked the chairman to write to the hon. Gentleman.

Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will take steps to permit the Welsh water authority to allow balances from over-achievement of its financial targets to be carried forward for application in future years; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The Welsh water authority will be able to utilise its balances in 1985–86, as set out in the Water Authorities (Return on Assets) Order 1985, SI 1985 No. 78.
