14. Mr. Geraint Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many private sources of water supply in Wales will be subject to licensing by the National Rivers Authority after September.

Sir Wyn Roberts

There are at present more than 4,000 licensed abstractions in the National Rivers Authority's Welsh region. It is not possible to predict how many applications for new licences will be made in the next few months.
