§ Mr. MullinTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will make a statement on the reasons for the delay in publishing the inspectors report on the Hendon Sewage Treatment works; and when she expects to publish it. [72308]
§ Mr. MeacherThe Inspector's report following the inquiry on the Hendon Sewage Treatment Works (and the Whitburn Storm Sewage Pumping Station) is a comprehensive document containing a large amount of data of both a technical and general nature. Full and detailed consideration has inevitably taken some time, but I expect the Secretary of State's decision to be published together with the Inspector's report very shortly.
