Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will list the water supply and urban and rural drainage bodies in England which are companies where a holding company or majority of shareholdings are not of the United Kingdom, stating in each case the country and name of the ultimate owner, together with date of acquisition.

Mr. Morley

[pursuant to his reply, 14 January 2004, Official Report, c. 742W]In my answer I referred to information on Cambridge Water and Folkestone and Dover. This was incorrect.

The correct information for Cambridge Water and Folkestone and Dover is as follows:

Water only undertakers Ultimate holding company

and where headquarters is

based

 Date of acquisition
Cambridge Water plc Union Electricia Fenosa January 2000
SA (Spain)
Folkestone and Dover Veolia Environnement Owned since before
Water Services Ltd. (France) 1989

The rest of the answer remains correct.
