Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps are being taken by his Department to reduce the quantity of polluting effluent entering the River Don by way of Sheffield sewage.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

My Department have arranged a meeting next month with Sheffield C.B. and the River Authority to discuss a scheme which is being prepared by the City Council for a relief sewer through the Don Valley. The estimated cost of the scheme is between £6 and £7 million.
