HC Deb 30 January 1989 vol 146 cc58-9W
Mr. Paice

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and food what are the nitrate levels in the five most popular bottled waters sold in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Ryder

My Department does not keep records of the composition of all individual brands of bottled waters. Information on levels of nitrates in natural mineral waters should be available from the authority which has "recognised" the water under the appropriate European Community rules. It may also be available from the exploiter of the water source.
