HC Deb 14 June 1989 vol 154 c416W
Dr. Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Copeland of 11 May,Official Report, column 520, if he will place in the Library an analysis of those sewage treatment works in respect of which applications have been made for revised sewage discharge consents, showing for each works (a) its eight-figure national grid reference, (b) the parliamentary constituency in which it is situated, and (c) the local authority area in which it is situated.

Mr. Ridley

The question can be answered only at disproportionate cost. The grid reference for each sewage treatment works is included on the application form submitted to Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution. These forms are available for public inspection at each water authority. The applications themselves, including grid references, have been advertised locally in the press. The other information would have to be specifically compiled and is not relevant to the consideration of the application.
