HC Deb 30 March 1999 vol 328 c583W
Dr. Brand

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement on the timing of the introduction of secondary sewage treatment at the sewerage works under construction at Yaverland, Sandown, Isle of Wight. [78571]

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. Southern Water need various consents from Government to proceed with the works. 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.
