§ Mr. MichaelTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) if he will give a quantified breakdown of the ways in which water is lost by Welsh Water between the reservoir and the consumer;
(2) what information he has on the reasons why Welsh Water is losing 40 per cent. of the water collected in its reservoirs before reaching the consumer; and what steps he intends to take to bring that percentage loss in line with that of other water companies in England and Wales;
(3) what percentage of water is lost in the course of distribution by (a) Welsh Water and (b) any other company supplying water in any part in Wales;
(4) what target has been set for Welsh Water to achieve in order to reduce the percentage loss of water during the course of distribution; and by what date they are to reach that target.
§ Mr. GristThese are matters which are the responsibility of Welsh Water plc. Some information is contained in the pathfinder prospectus, copies of which are in the Library.
