Mr. Hooson
asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will set up a Welsh Water Board, to control and develop Welsh water resources.
Mr. James Griffiths
As Secretary of State, I now have executive responsibility for water supply and river management in Wales. A Welsh Water Committee, composed of the two Welsh members of the Water Resources Board and the chairmen of the river authorities concerned has been established to advise me directly on the control and development of Welsh water resources. Any further development must await consideration of the future of the water industry as a whole.
