Lieut.-Colonel Hobsonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) which River Boards have made a survey under Section 5 (1) of the Rivers (Prevention of Pollution) Act, 1951, and in respect of which streams or parts of streams, with a view to making by-laws under paragraph (a) of that subsection for the purpose of determining when matter is to be treated as poisonous, noxious or polluting;
104W(2) which River Boards have made bylaws under Section 5 (1) (a) of the Rivers (Prevention of Pollution) Act, 1951, prescribing standards for the purpose of determining when matter is to be treated as poisonous, noxious, or polluting; in respect of which streams or parts of streams such by-laws have been made; and whether all such by-laws have been confirmed.
§ Mr. H. BrookeSo far as I am aware, two such surveys have been carried out —one by the Mersey River Board in respect of the River Bollin and its tributaries, and the other by the Devon River Board in respect of their whole area. No by-laws have yet been made under Section 5 (1) (a) of the Rivers (Prevention of Pollution) Act, 1951.
