§ Mr. KirkwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list in theOfficial Report the location and ownership of all boreholes on agricultural land in North Yorkshire that have been shut by his Department as a result of excess nitrates in the water supply.
§ Mr. MoynihanI understand from the Yorkshire water authority that the only public water supply boreholes which it has closed on the grounds of high nitrate concentrations are Kirby Hill borehole, Boroughbridge, in 1985; Baldersby-St-James borehole, Baldersby, early in 1988.
