Dear Ms Jones

Mr Peter Jackson's report - NPWA website

I refer to an article on your website entitled:

'UK Water Research Centre "Report" exposed as bad science'

I am concerned at your misuse of our company name. You appear to be confusing WRc plc (Water Research Centre) with WRc-NSF Limited, which is a separate legal entity, and of which Mr Jackson is an employee. I am extremely concerned that not only does your website implicate WRc, but the title is also potentially libellous.

Would you therefore please take immediate steps to remove all references to Water Research Centre and WRc and replace them with WRc-NSF. In my capacity as Company Secretary of WRc-NSF Limited, as well as WRc plc, I also request you to change the title in the article.

Please confirm that this action has been taken. In the event that you do not do so within a reasonable time, say by 6 December 2002, I shall contact our corporate lawyers for their advice as to the options open to us.

Yours sincerely,

Karen McLintock,

Company Secretary
