HC Deb 20 May 1986 vol 98 cc141-2W
Mr. Boyes

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he intends to issue the document "Water Privatisation: Proposals for Water Companies" for public comment; and if he will make a statement;

(2) to whom he circulated the document "Water Privatisation: Proposals for Water Companies"; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Patten

[pursuant to his reply, 19 May 1986]: The document, which sets out proposals for the detailed implementation of policies contained in paragraph 43 of the White Paper "Privatisation of the Water Authorities in England and Wales" (Cmnd. 9734), was sent to the Water Companies' Association and the Water Authorities' Association, whose members it directly concerns.

I am arranging for copies to be placed in the Library of both Houses of Parliament.
