All figures in this document are in 2017-18 prices except where otherwise stated. The final determination documentation sets out: the outcomes for SES Water to deliver; the allowed revenue that SES Water can recover from its customers; and how we have determined allowed revenues based on our calculation of efficient costs and the allowed return on capital. This final determination is in accordance with our PR19 methodology (as updated), our statutory duties1 and the UK Government’s statement of strategic priorities and objectives for Ofwat2. We have also had regard to the principles of best regulatory practice, including the principles under which regulatory activities should be transparent, accountable, proportionate, consistent and targeted. Our final determination carefully considers all of the representations we received from companies and stakeholders on our draft determination and takes account of the most up-to-date information available where appropriate. Where appropriate, we explicitly set out our response to points and issues raised by respondents. Where information was provided late and we have not been able to take full account of this in the final determination, this is explicitly stated.

    Registered Charity No: 272098 ISSN 0585-9980 SURREY ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY CASTLE ARCH, GUILDFORD GU1 3SX Guildford 32454 Bulletin N u m b e r 2 8 9 December 1994/January 1995 COUNCIL NEWS Guildford Castle and Royal Palace Training Excavation At the barbecue on the final day two sheep are roasted in the traditional manner by refugees from Bosnia, now living in Surrey OBITUARY M i s s M A B e c k Jill Beck died after a short Illness on 17 August 1994, the day after her seventy seventh birthday. As Archlvlst-ln-Charge she presided over Guildford Muniment Room from January 1971 (when Dr Enid Dance retired) until her own retirement In 1982. The greater part of her working life was passed In Guildford, where her first job as an archivist had brought her to work (for six months that became three years, 1950-1953) in the Muniment Room, cataloguing the Loseley MSS on behalf of the Historical Manuscripts Commission. After eight years organising the archives at Petworth House she then returned to Guildford as assistant archivist in 1961. Jill was modest about her own achievements and would lay claim only to having a good memory. She brought to her archival tasks many other advantages: a well organised mind, the highest standards of scholarship and a natural grace of style. All those who used the Muniment Room during the twenty five years that she worked there will testify to her apparently almost infinite patience and helpfulness, and all present and future historians of Surrey are indebted to her for the excellence of the lists and indexes she produced.
