Mr. Speller
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will request Welsh Water to dump its sewage sludge further west in the Bristol channel; and when he expects it to cease this method of disposal.
Mr. Grist
My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has no plans to do so, but as my hon. Friend will know, the Government decided earlier this year that all sewage sludge dumping at sea would cease at the latest by December 1998.
