HC Deb 19 July 1993 vol 229 c64W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has recently received from the chairman of the National Rivers Authority in regard to the effectiveness of prosecutions under the Water Resources Act 1991.

Mr. Yeo

I regularly discuss a variety of topics, including pollution control, with the chairman. Details of the NRA's achievements in its enforcement activity are set out in its annual water pollution incidents report. The most recent information, relating to 1991, was published by the NRA last September.
