§ Mr. Robert C. Brownasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what percentage of houses in England are connected to the public sewerage system; how this compares with other member states of the European Community: and how this compares with the United States of America.
§ Mr. John PattenThis information is not held by my Department. However, I would refer the hon. Member to the November 1985 edition of "Water Facts" published by the Water Authorities Association, which gives figures for the percentage of the population connected to sewers and comparative figures for other member states of the European Community. I have today placed copies in the Library.
