HC Deb 06 November 1979 vol 973 c143W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the number of pollution incidents arising from oil spillage out of tanks without retaining walls—bunds—which threaten sewers and water courses.

Mr. Fox

I am afraid that the information available about oil spills from storage tanks does not break the figures down according to whether the tanks were bunded or not. But if my hon. Friend has a particular case in mind and would care to let me have details I shall look into it.
