HC Deb 20 June 1967 vol 748 cc220-1W
Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what study is being made of the disposal of trade effluent; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacColl

The Department's technical officers keep the whole subject under review; the Water Pollution Research Laboratory of the Ministry of Technology investigate particular problems in the treatment of trade effluents, from which they are often able to draw valuable general conclusions; and various branches of industry undertake their own research.
