HC Deb 22 January 1993 vol 217 cc449-50W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many incidents of oil pollution off Cardigan bay have been reported in each year since 1973; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Figures relating specifically to Cardigan bay are not held centrally. Since 1980, details of all reported oil spills around the United Kingdom coastline have been provided, on a regional basis, in the annual reports of the Advisory Committee on Pollution of the Sea (ACOPS). Copies of the reports are held in the Library of the House.
