§ Mr. AingerTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many installations in Scotland require consents for marine discharges; and if he will list them. [20841]
§ Sir Hector Monro[holding answer 25 April 1995]: Marine discharges are controlled either by the river purification authorities under the Control of Pollution Act 1974, part II as amended or, where relevant, by Her Majesty's industrial pollution inspectorate and river purification authorities acting together under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 part 1. Information relating to all such discharges is available for public inspection in registers maintained by river purification authorities, but a complete record is not held centrally.
