HC Deb 06 July 1993 vol 228 cc78-9W
Mr. Bowden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to amend the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 1989 to impose a maximum permitted concentration of cryptosporidium oocyst contamination in drinking water; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Yeo

The Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 1989 already require that for water supplies to be wholesome they must not contain any organism at a concentration which is detrimental to public health.
