HC Deb 10 July 1989 vol 156 c396W
Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will ask the North West water authority to implement the necessary work to prevent pollution of the River Calder in Burnley from Black Clough.

Mr. Howard

I understand that the North West water authority is considering measures to remedy this pollution. Under the provisions of the Water Act, it will become the responsibility of the National Rivers Authority.
