PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
SEWAGE TREATMENT AND SEA WATER QUALITY (27 October 1997)
Motion Details
That this House deplores the current and continuing practice of water companies in discharging raw sewage through sea outfalls, having no plans in many cases for enhancing the treatment of the discharged sewage so that the microbial contamination of coastal waters can be prevented; and therefore requests the Government to examine the setting of higher standards of sewage treatment that would be made a statutory requirement.
