HC Deb 04 March 1987 vol 111 cc630-1W
25. Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has to increase the grant for rural sewerage.

Mr. Waldegrave

I propose to revalue to current prices the grants for sewerage and water supply in rural areas. The Department is writing to water and local authorities with the details. I will send a copy of the letter to my hon. Friend and I am also placing one in the Library of the House.
