§ Mr. Andrew WelshTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much public money was spent on clearing up pollution and environmental damage resulting from the release of pollutants into the environment by industry, in each of the last 10 years for the United Kingdom as a whole; and how much of this sum was spent in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. Heathcoat-AmoryThis information is not collected in the form requested. Some expenditures incurred by public undertakings in dealing with 411W environmental pollution are published for England and Wales in my Department's digest of environmental protection and water statistics but these cover much more than clearing up.
