HC Deb 17 July 1972 vol 841 c31W
Mr. Gwynoro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales which industrial enterprises were the main sources of pollution of rivers in the County of Carmarthen.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Most of the main industries in Carmarthenshire to a varying degree are sources of pollution in the rivers in the county. The South West Wales River Authority keeps in close touch with industry in order to maintain the continuing improvement in the standard of industrial effluents.
