HC Deb 14 November 1990 vol 180 c159W
32. Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what contribution his Department will make to the costs of providing full treatment in respect of new sewage outfalls.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

The costs of providing treatment will, in the first instance, fall to the sewerage undertakers, but may be eligible for consideration for cost-pass-through under the terms of their licences. This will be a matter for the Director General of Water Services to determine.
