To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the water quality in the River Tame between Johnson Brook and Wilson Brook.

The section of the River Tame between Johnson Brook and Wilson Brook comprises designated waterbodies River Tame – Swineshaw Brook to Mersey (GB112069061112) and Wilson Brook (GB112069061280).
