HC Deb 16 February 1994 vol 237 cc813-4W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the landfill sites in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk where the pollution inspectorate or the National Rivers Authority have detected pollutants and dangerous chemical substances in nearby groundwater since 1991.

Mr. Atkins

Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 the licensing and monitoring of landfill sites is the responsibility of waste regulation authorities, in this case Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk county councils. Where the NRA has carried out monitoring, relevant results are available on the public register for the NRA's Anglian region.
