HC Deb 12 March 1969 vol 779 cc280-1W
49. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he will give his decision on the formal appeal lodged with him by Edinburgh Corporation against the requirements of the River Forth Purification Board in relation to Edinburgh sewage being placed in the Forth untreated.

Dr. Dickson Mabon

I cannot yet say. I am awaiting further information from Edinburgh Corporation, and it may be necessary to hold a public inquiry.
