HC Deb 23 January 1989 vol 145 cc455-6W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment on how many occasions his Department has made any orders under section 23 of the Water Act 1945 or section 67 of the Water Resources Act 1963 in connection with the construction or operation of a reservoir in England, giving the date of any such order and the location to which it applied.

Mr. Moynihan

A large number of orders have been made under both provisions. The information requested is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
