§ Mr. ButlerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, pursuant to his answer of 13 February, the regular bacteriological tests of the air conditioning system and the standby generator serving the underground car park have the potential to identify(a) legionella and (b) similar organisms.
§ Mr. Chope[holding answer 16 February 1989]: Yes. The regular bacteriological sampling counts all aerobic and anaerobic bacteria present. Tests for specific bacteria such as legionella would be done only if the general bacteriological count gave cause for concern.
