§ Mr. Meale[holding answer 26 March 1999]: The Government have said that we wish to see secondary treatment installed on the Isle of Wight as soon as practicable.

They are currently in the process of providing the necessary supporting information and we are putting pressure on them to do so as soon as possible.
