HC Deb 29 October 2002 vol 391 c728W
Mr. Bryant

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what progress has been made in implementing the EC Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC). [78378]

Mr. Morley

The Government have today published jointly with the National Assembly for Wales a Second Consultation Paper on the Implementation of the EC Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC). This technical document, which is the second of three consultations, sets out how the Directive will be transposed into national legislation. I have placed copies of the paper in the House Libraries.
