HC Deb 24 February 1992 vol 204 c388W
Mr. Speller

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement upon the measures being taken to reduce the pollution in the Bristol channel caused by the dumping of sewage sludge from the Bristol and Avon area.

Mr. Curry

Regular monitoring shows that there is no evidence of harmful effects from licensed dumping of sewage sludge in the Bristol channel. Nevertheless the two water companies who currently dispose of their sludge there have well developed plans to terminate the operation by the end of 1993.
