§ Mr. Gareth WardellTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will place in the Library the detailed results of the bathing waters monitoring carried out on Welsh beaches in the summer.
§ Mr. Nicholas BennettDetails of the monitoring are on public registers maintained by the Welsh region of the National Rivers Authority (NRA) available for inspection at its offices during normal working hours. A summary of the information relating to EC identified bathing waters will be contained within the report prepared under article 13 of the EC bathing water directive and, as in previous years, a copy will be placed in the Library of the House. I understand that the NRA will again publish a report containing the results of its sampling of both designated and non-designated waters in England and Wales.
