HC Deb 19 June 1991 vol 193 c185W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proposals he has to improve the biological control of filamentous algae of the cladophora family in Welsh rivers, lakes and reservoirs.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

I understand that cladophora growth occurs from time to time when nutrient concentrations, flow and organic conditions are suitable. The National Rivers Authority will be addressing its possible control as part of its wider research into eutrophication.
