HC Deb 29 April 1993 vol 223 cc498-9W
Mr. Tyler

To ask the Prime Minister, further to his statement in the House on 11 March,Official Report, column 1105, to the hon. Member for Truro (Mr. Taylor), what is the timetable for the review of water charges in the south-west; and if he will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

Responsibility for water charges rests with the Director General of Water Services. My right honourable and learned Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment is now examining certain aspects of overall programmes to see if there is any room for manoeuvre. This requires analysis and it would be premature to say more at this stage.
