HC Deb 17 October 1991 vol 196 c237W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he has taken for the reprinting of his Department's leaflet entitled "Good Irrigation Practice, Make Every Drop Count," to enable it to reach every licence holder in England and Wales; whether a new leaflet will be printed for 1992; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Curry

We are presently assessing, with the National Rivers Authority and other interests, the effectiveness of the water shortage early warning system introduced for abstraction licence holders in East Anglia this season. In the light of this we shall discuss with the authority the extension of the system, and the good irrigation practice leaflet explaining it, beyond the East Anglian region next year.
