HC Deb 01 February 1989 vol 146 cc214-5W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek to introduce legislation to make it an offence to allow polluted drinking water to come through a tap; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moynihan

I refer the hon. Gentleman to clause 51 of the Water Bill, which will make it an offence for a water undertaker to supply to any premises water that is unfit for human consumption.
