HC Deb 17 November 1970 vol 806 cc392-3W
65. Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has for preventing thermal pollution in Welsh bays and estuaries; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Thomas

None. Legislation provides that if the point of discharge of any effluent, including water used for cooling purposes, is within waters under the control of a river authority, the consent of that authority is required for the discharge.
