§ Mr. HinchliffeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what quantity of phosphate was recovered annually from United Kingdom sewage, each year since 1982; and what action he will take to encourage the recovery of phosphate from United Kingdom sewage.
§ Mr. MacleanInformation about the amount of phosphate recovered annually from United Kingdom sewage is not held centrally. Implementation of the recently adopted EC Directive concerning Urban Waste Water Treatment will require, in certain circumstances, the reduction of phosphorus in sewage discharges.
