Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what information his Department has concerning the level of nitrate pollution in the sandstone aquifers north of Nottingham.

Mr. Moynihan

I understand that six out of 41 public supply groundwater abstractions in the Trent catchment north of Nottingham currently exceed 50 mg/litre nitrate.
