asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will accept the recommendation of the working party on Sewage Disposal that the shipborne dumping of domestic and trade wastes should be brought under statutory control.

The report of the Working Party on Sewage Disposal is under consideration, and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment hopes to announce the Government's conclusions on all the main recommendations before long.
