HC Deb 16 March 1994 vol 239 c678W
Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment in which member states of the European Union there are available for public inspection analyses of water and waste water.

Mr. Atkins

In England and Wales analyses of water and waste water carried out by water companies, local authorities, and the National Rivers Authority, are made available for public inspection. The drinking water inspectorate publishes annually the results of the analyses of drinking water. So far as we are aware, comprehensive information is not available on the position in other member states.
