§ 22. Mr. Andrew WelshTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when all Scottish drinking water sources will conform to European Community safety standards for aluminium.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe EC standard for aluminium in drinking water is based on aesthetic considerations and is not a safety standard. Most of the 129 supply zones for which improvement undertakings have been given by water authorities are programmed to meet the standard before the end of 1994.
