HC Deb 03 March 1970 vol 797 c55W
49. Mr. Chataway

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, in view of the importance of combatting river pollution, whether he will now withdraw Circular 64/68.

Mr. Denis Howell

No. Its advice about relations between river authorities and dischargers is still valid. But when, later, this year, we have the results of the River Pollution Survey, we shall consider what resources can be made available and how best they can be used for cleaning up the rivers.
