HC Deb 01 February 1971 vol 810 c265W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a statement about Government policy on industrial effluent, following the decision of the United States Government to ban the sale of tuna fish following evidence of possible contamination.

Mr. Peter Walker

It is the Government's policy to make sure that public health is not endangered by industrial discharges, taking into account in so doing all relevant scientific information as it becomes available.
