Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Walpole (Crossbench). It was answered on Thursday, 7 July 2005.


Water Supply

Question
My Lords, is the Minister aware that at the end of my drive I have a borehole that is owned by the Anglian Water Authority and the University of East Anglia? It is absolutely obvious that even when there is a lot of rain the aquifers are not filling up. That is the big problem—if they do not fill up in wet years, when will they fill up?
