Future Of Water Services In Northern Ireland

EDM number 1699 in 1992-93, proposed by Eddie McGrady on 29/03/1993.

That this House reaffirms its total and unequivocal opposition to the privatisation of water services in Northern Ireland; notes that this opposition is reflected across the community and across the political front and is based on the failure of water privatisation in England & Wales and because privatisation would be contrary to the future needs of the people in Northern Ireland whether in the industrial, agricultural or domestic sphere; notes furthermore that the intentions of the Government are undemocratic, misleading and secretive and expose a whole range of matters which are contrary to the public good and totally at variance with normal public financial procedures and safeguards; and calls on the Government to allow the people of Northern Ireland to have their say and to initiate a referendum on this issue and also to abandon all plans for the privatisation of Northern Ireland water services.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
