Mr. Cohen
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his latest assessment of the state of pollution in the North sea; and what information he has about assessment by other Governments.
Mr. Waldegrave
An assessment of the state of pollution in the North sea is currently being undertaken by an international group of experts in preparation for the forthcoming North sea conference. I anticipate their interim report will be made available on its completion in the spring of this year.
