Government must act to stop sewage discharge into Thames

July 20, 2005 3:20 PM
By Baroness Sarah Ludford MEP in The House of Lords

Baroness Ludford: My Lords, on another "bio-" issue with a European angle, the Minister will be aware that the Commission is taking infringement proceedings against the UK for failing to have proper collection and treatment facilities for raw sewage discharges. Will the Government seek to avoid infringement proceedings for the massive raw sewage discharges into the Thames, which breach the urban waste water directive?
