HC Deb 17 July 1972 vol 841 cc31-2W
72. Dr. David Owen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department

Mr. Gwynoro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales which local authority sewage plants are the main sources of pollution of rivers in the County of Carmarthen.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The lower reaches of Carmarthenshire rivers are polluted in varying degrees by sewage discharges from most of the surrounding local authorities. Schemes at present under construction or in course of preparation will improve the quality of these rivers. In general the middle and upper reaches of Carmarthenshire rivers are of good quality.
