25. Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to ensure that the British Government meet their international obligations to reduce the amount of pollution discharged into our rivers and seas.

Regulations have been made under the Water Act 1989 to implement EEC directives on dangerous substances. In addition, we published a guidance note in July last year concerning implementation of agreements reached at the third North sea conference.
