HC Deb 03 March 1986 vol 93 c21W
13. Dr. Marek

asked the Secretary of State for Wales, consequent upon privatisation of the Welsh water authority, what conditions he will impose to ensure all domestic water in Wales is fit to drink.

Mr. Mark Robinson

The Welsh water authority is currently under a statutory duty, and takes all appropriate precautions, to supply wholesome water. That duty will continue, as is indicated in paragraph 66 of Cmnd. 9734 — "Privatisation of the Water Authorities in England and Wales."
