As you will be aware, the fishing association have referred a complaint to the EU Commission that argues that huge quantities of slurry and poultry manure are being spread indiscriminately on large areas of farm land, and that the rules and guidelines governing how this should be done are consistently being broken.

Will you give us your assurance that all is being done to monitor this practice, and thus ensure the integrity of our rivers?
