§ Mr. J. Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many local authorities in Scotland discharge raw sewage into the sea, lochs and estuaries; how many so discharge partially treated sewage; and which authorities dispose of sewage in these ways.
§ Mr. MaclayI regret that the detailed information asked for is not available. It is estimated, however, that sewerage systems serving about one-third of the population of Scotland are at present discharging raw sewage; the discharges of raw sewage are mainly to tidal waters.
