Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the answer of 19 October 2026 to WPQ 34448, what type of sites were inspected for the 6,130 carried out at sites other than wastewater treatment works.

6,130 inspections were carried out at water-company-operated sewage pumping stations and combined sewer overflows. These are permitted wastewater assets within sewerage networks. Inspections assess whether sites comply with environmental permit conditions and may also follow reported pollution incidents or evidence of environmental impact at an asset or its outfall.
