§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence which chemicals listed under the Trade Effluents (Prescribed Processes and Substances) Regulations 1989 are discharged into the environment by facilities and sites operated by his Department.
§ Mr. AitkenCentral records are not maintained of the types and quantities of prescribed substances discharged by MOD. However, non-domestic discharges from individual MOD facilities and establishments are subject to prior agreement with the appropriate pollution control authorities. These agreements take into account the quantities, concentrations and types of prescribed substances contained in the discharges which are, in turn, dependent upon the particular processes or activities being undertaken.
