HC Deb 12 June 1989 vol 154 c316W
Mr. Boswell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what evidence he has of additional nitrate pollution in water induced by run-off through the use of urea to clear frost from highways and runways.

Mr. Howard

We have no evidence to suggest that the use of urea to clear frost from highways and runways contributes significantly to nitrate pollution of water.
