HC Deb 10 November 1964 vol 701 cc35-6W
36. Sir T. Beamish

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that the Portobello outfall has been the cause of increasingly serious pollution of the beaches between Newhaven and Brighton, especially in the area of Peacehaven, Telscombe Cliffs, Saltdean and Rottingdean and that efforts to persuade the Brighton Corporation to extend the outfall further to sea or to treat the sewage have failed; and if he will order an immediate inquiry with a view to finding a solution to this problem.

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend understands that the local authorities concerned are reviewing the situation—and I will certainly keep myself and the hon. and gallant Member informed.
