To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the areas in Wales proposed to him as candidate sensitive areas under the EC urban waste treatment directive by (a) Countryside Council for Wales and (b) the National Rivers Authority.
In March 1993, the Welsh Office, together with the Department of the Environment and Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, published its response to the consultation exercise it carried out on the criteria and procedures for identifying sensitive areas under the urban waste water treatment directive. The National Rivers Authority has been asked to compile a list of candidate sensitive areas using these criteria. Although the Countryside Council for Wales has not made any proposals on the basis of the finalised criteria, it will be consulted about the NRA's list.
