§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has received a copy of the report on research conducted by Lancaster university's environmental epidemiology department at Blackpool; and whether he intends to consult with the North West Water Company, on action to be taken in respect of the sea off Blackpool.
§ Mr. TrippierI have recently received a copy of the report on Lancaster university's research which complements similar studies by the Department over the past two years. The Department will continue to take a close interest in progress on North West Water's comprehensive improvements to bathing waters on the Fylde coast which should be completed as quickly as possible.
