Water Companies (Asset Values)

HC Deb 11 January 1989 vol 144 cc649-50W

Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what assessment he has made of the impact on the asset values of water companies of the failure of copper pipes due to water corrosion caused by the non-lime retaining waters supplied (a) in Nottingham and (b) in England.

Mr. Moynihan

None. Water authority mains are unlikely to be affected.
