HC Deb 28 July 1980 vol 989 c570W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has made an estimate of the capital cost required to eliminate or vastly reduce pollution of inshore waters from presently inadequate sewerage outfalls.

Mr. Younger

No. Since water and sewerage are the responsibility of regional and islands councils, it is for them to work out locally the cost and practicability of individual projects.
