HC Deb 02 December 1957 vol 579 c9W
65. Dr. Bennett

asked the Minister of Health what standards he has laid down for freedom from infectivity in the water of public bathing places, including rivers and the sea at coastal resorts.

Mr. Walker-Smith

A report on the purification of water used in swimming baths built and equipped for the purpose was published in 1951. No standards are—or could readily be—laid down for uncontrolled bathing places in open waters.
