HC Deb 15 November 1971 vol 826 c51W
Mr. Oakes

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now seek to extend the provisions of the Rivers (Prevention of Pollution) Acts, 1951 and 1961, to coastal and estuarial waters.

Mr. Graham Page

I would ask the hon. Member to await the announcement which I hope to make soon on the Government's conclusions about the recommendations of the Working Party on Sewage Disposal.
