HC Deb 18 May 1988 vol 133 cc489-90W
Ms. Ruddock

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will bring forward a code of guidance on water disconnections for the water industry to take account of the new social security legislation.

Mr. Moynihan

The water industry has successfully operated a voluntary code of practice on disconnections for some years. I understand that it intends shortly to publish a revised code, reflecting the recent changes in the social security system.
