HC Deb 10 March 1971 vol 813 c119W
Mr. Simeons

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to publicise the dangers to the environment in general and to sewage works in particular of the pouring of surplus pesticides down domestic drains.

Mr. Peter Walker

The domestic use of persistent pesticides is severely restricted. My Department has already publicised the booklet on "Safety in Sewers and at Sewage Works" which contains advice on the precautions which should be taken by sewage workers.
