§
Mr. Howard
The results of the survey carried out during the 1988 bathing season show that 67 per cent. of our bathing waters in England, Wales and Northern Ireland met the mandatory coliform bacteria standards of the EC bathing water directive. This represents a significant improvement over 1987 when, measured on the same basis, only 55 per cent. of our waters met these standards.
Since 1987, we have tightened the way in which we monitor and assess compliance with the directive in order
569W
to put the figures on a consistent basis with those produced by the European Commission for all member states. For this reason, the 1988 results are not directly comparable with those announced last May for 1987, by my hon. Friend the Member for Lewisham, East (Mr. Moynihan).
Measured on the new basis, 254 of the 380 bathing waters in England, Northern Ireland and Wales met the directive's mandatory coliform bacteria standards during the 1988 bathing season. This compares with 206 out of 370 waters (55 per cent.) in 1987, and only 184 out of 358 waters (51 per cent.) in 1986, measured on the same basis.
These figures are encouraging and show that we are continuing to make good progress in cleaning up our bathing waters, mainly as a result of the major programmes of capital expenditure by water authorities in renewing sewers in coastal towns and constructing long sea outfalls. We attach a high priority to bringing all our remaining bathing waters up to EC standards, and are discussing with water authorities how to accelerate these programmes. In 1989–90, water authorities expect to spend about 100 million on schemes to improve bathing waters.
The 1988 results are set out in the tables in summary form. I shall arrange for a more detailed summary of the results to be placed in the Library.
