The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Emma Hardy)

I thank my hon. Friend for raising this important issue. The Government are, of course, strongly committed to ensuring a high level of protection for human health and the environment. I am aware that the Environment Agency is investigating this matter, so I would be happy to meet my hon. Friend to discuss it in detail.
