HC Deb 16 July 1956 vol 556 cc64-5W
Mr. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is aware of complaints by anglers about pollution of the river Witham; and what steps he is taking in the matter.

Mr. Amory

The Lincolnshire River Board, which is primarily responsible for initiating action to prevent pollution, has received no recent complaints from anglers about the condition of the River Witham. If the hon. Member will let me have particulars I will institute further inquiries.
