HC Deb 01 December 1970 vol 807 cc335-6W
Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has for strengthening the pollution abatement powers of the district sea fisheries committees.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

Ministers are at present considering the recommendations made in the Report of the Working Party on Sewage Disposal as well as that of the Technical Committee on the Disposal of Solid Toxic Wastes which were published in July and August respectively. Both reports commented on the question of pollution control within the three-mile territorial limit.
