§ David TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what plans she has to review the Environment Agency's pollution incident recording system. [166051]
§ Mr. MorleyI have no plans to review the Environment Agency's National Incident Recording System (NIRS).
The Agency carries out an ongoing review of the effectiveness of the system and liaises with the user community, making changes where appropriate.
Over the next five years, the Agency will be looking to move towards one fully integrated web-based tracking system to encompass incident reporting and enforcement.
