Firth of Forth (Untreated Sewage)

HC Deb 22 March 1971 vol 814 cc47-8W

Mr. Oswald

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will initiate an inquiry into the dangers to health created by the discharging of untreated sewage into the waters of the Firth of Forth.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

No. I know of no reason why the views expressed last year by the Working Party on Sewage Disposal, presided over by the hon. Lady the Member for Holborn and St. Pancras, South (Mrs. Lena Jeger), should not be regarded as applicable to the Firth of Forth.
