I do not know the basis on which the Deputy drew up those statistics and would have to examine how he did it before I could give a detailed answer. However, in the context of water charges, for example, water pricing policy now requires direct recovery of all non-domestic water service costs and certain areas reflect the coming on stream of major new schemes. The national non-domestic metering programme will facilitate a more transparent system of recovering water service costs where local authorities were not recovering full costs in that area.
