§ Mr. TrippierOf the total investment of £26.3 billion allowed for in determining charges limits for the water industry in England and Wales some £5.3 billion was for investment at sewage treatment works, £5.7 billion for investment in the sewerage network and £1.2 billion for investment in sea and estuarial outfalls. Discussions with the water industry are now in hand to revise these investment programmes to take account of the Secretary of State's recent announcement that in future all significant discharges of sewage to sea should be treated and that dumping of sewage sludge at sea should be ended.
