§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list all those beaches in Wales which failed to meet the European Community directive on bathing water quality standards in the last year for which data are available; when it is planned for each of these beaches to meet these standards; and what is the estimated cost in each case.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe results of the 1987 bathing water survey, the latest for which data are presently available, are held in the Library of the House. The information in respect of 1988 is at present being collated and we expect it to be available shortly.
Welsh Office officials are currently discussing with the Welsh water authority their plans for improving those waters which do not yet meet the required standards.
