VARIATIONS IN WATER CHARGES

Early day motion 393, tabled 4 November 1997 by Desmond Turner (Labour). Signed by 33 members.

That this House notes with concern some of the extreme variations in water and sewerage charges levied by some water companies, such that in some cases charges can vary by several hundred pounds a year for households, even in the same area, where there is more than one water company; and asks the Government to take steps to ensure that variations in the levels of charges between water companies are minimised.
