ADOPTION OF PRIVATE SEWERS

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the research being undertaken on behalf of DEFRA, the first ever to be done, into the extent of the problem of households having private sewers, in many cases without realising it; and calls on the Secretary of State to publish this research urgently and, in the meantime hold talks with the Environment Agency, OFWAT, water undertakers, local authorities and others to find interim solutions to this problem.
