Powers Of National Rivers Authority

EDM number 1026 in 1994-95, proposed by Alan Simpson on 25/04/1995.

That this House notes the ruling in the House of Lords on 17th November last year in the case of The National Rivers Authority v. Yorkshire Water Services; notes that the effect of the Court's ruling is that a person to whom the NRA has granted a consent, pursuant to Act of Parliament, to discharge specified amounts of a specified substance into a river or watercourse, may in some circumstances be legally entitled to discharge unlimited amounts of other substances not mentioned in the consent; accepts the concern of the NRA that this effectively turns a discharge consent into a licence to pollute; regrets that the Government did not accept an amendment to the Environment Bill [Lords] on behalf of the NRA, which would rectify this situation; and hopes that the Government will accept an amendment to the Bill in this House.

This motion has been signed by a total of 136 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
