HC Deb 25 July 1988 vol 138 c56W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what action he will take to ensure that the Yorkshire water authority brings all its sewage works up to the legal minimum standard by 1991.

Mr. Moynihan

We have made it clear to Yorkshire water authority that effluent discharges from its sewage treatment works must comply with discharge consent conditions as soon as practicable. The authority is now preparing the necessary investment plans.
