§ Mr. Roger EvansTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what progress is being made with Panteg environmental monitoring study being undertaken by the university of East Anglia into levels of polychlorinated biphenyl contamination in the Pontypool area.
§ Mr. David HuntThe study which I commissioned in January 1991 continues to make good progress. I published the first interim report last October, and I have now placed copies of the second and latest interim report in the Library of the House. The second report describes the detailed sampling and analysis programme which is now well underway. I expect the study to be completed early in 1993.
