Mr. John D. Taylor
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what proposals he has to separate control of rivers and foul sewage disposal.
Mr. Peter Bottomley
The control of river pollution and foul sewage disposal are already separated in the sense that the functions are carried out by separate directorates within the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland. We have not proposed at present to alter that system.
