HC Deb 18 December 1970 vol 808 c478W
Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will direct the attention of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution to the problem of discharge of fly-ash off the Durham coast, as a result of which only 30 per cent. of the species recorded there 100 years ago now survive, and invite their recommendations for remedying the situation.

Mr. Peter Walker

I will consult the Commission as to the possibility of a study by them of marine pollution.
