§ 15. Mr. SpellerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the position over pollution from existing and planned new sewerage outlets into the Bristol channel; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MoynihanNineteen bathing waters along the Bristol channel coast are identified under the EEC bathing water directive. In the 1988 bathing water season, 10 of these met the directive's mandatory coliform standards. The existing sewerage outlets are operating satisfactorily and a number of new schemes are planned which will bring about local improvements to water quality in the Bristol channel.
