§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the emissions of particles contaminated with legionella feeli and E. coli organisms from power station cooling towers.
§ Mr. ForthNo definitive data on the microbiological emissions in the drift from power station cooling towers have been produced in the United Kingdom. However, I am not aware of any epidemiological evidence for cases of human disease associated with the emission of these or any other organisms from such towers.
