HC Deb 29 October 1993 vol 230 c827W
Sir Cranley Onslow

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to seek a review of the EC water quality directive.

Mr. Yeo

As part of its programme of work following the Edinburgh summit, the European Commission is already reviewing the drinking water directive—80/778/ EEC—and should make its recommendations next year. We have already made clear to the Commission the changes that we believe are required.
