HC Deb 28 January 1992 vol 202 c543W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what advice he gives to bathers about swimming in heavily polluted waters.

Mr. Dorrell

Certain bathing beaches identified as posing a risk by the EC directive, are regularly tested and the results of sampling publicly posted. In addition, the local environmental health officer may post warning notices where abnormal results are detected.
