HC Deb 28 November 1988 vol 142 c131W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the level of(a) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, (b) nitrates, (c) aluminium and (d) other substances in Nottingham's drinking water.

Mr. Moynihan

I am advised that a recent survey of the city of Nottingham water supply has revealed no significant level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Further monitoring is in hand.

None of Nottingham's water supplies regularly exceeds the limit for nitrate, aluminium or other substances set in the EC drinking water directive.
