§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will estimate the number of gallons of water(a) supplied by pipeline from Wales and (b) extracted from waterways controlled by regulating reservoirs in Wales and used by companies supplying water in England. [20012]
§ Mr. ClappisonIn 1995 an average of 550 megalitres or 121 million gallons per day were supplied by pipeline and aqueduct from Wales to England. The corresponding figures for abstractions from regulated rivers was 9428W megalitres or 207 million gallons per day. However, the data for regulated rivers includes some water taken from the river Severn which was not derived from Wales.
