RODENT CONTROL

Early day motion 1596, tabled 15 July 2003 by Joan Walley (Labour). Signed by 19 members.

That this House believes that the national protocol for co-operation on rodent control issued by Water UK in November 2000 has proved ineffectual in improving liaison between local authorities and the sewerage undertakers on the control of rats in towns and cities; and that this code should be given statutory backing under the Water Bill.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Liberal Democrat 2.
