Mr. Dalyell
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to the answer of 26 July, Official Report, column 889, what decision he has reached about publishing official communications with regional water authorities.
Mr. John Patten
Water information letters are not public documents and are therefore not usually published. They are private correspondence between the Department and chief executives of the regional water authorities.
