HC Deb 02 December 1987 vol 123 c627W
69. Mr. Livingstone

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much he expects water rates to increase in the next financial year.

Mr. Moynihan

My right hon. Friend expects to announce shortly the external finance limits and the financial targets for each water authority. It will then be for individual authorities to finalise their budgets and take their own decisions on the details of their charges.
