§ Mr. MacCormickasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has any plans to base the future assessment of river quality in Scotland on the concept of river 405W quality objectives as outlined by the National Water Council for England and Wales, rather than on the Royal Commission standard of 1912.
§ Mr. McElhoneThe views of local authorities, river purification boards and other bodies concerned have been invited on the possibility that a system of river quality objectives might be established as a frame of reference for consideration of discharges of trade or sewage effluent.
