On Wednesday Anne Main took part in a debate in Parliament regarding the Buncfield Oil depot Fire that occurred just before Christmas last year.

During the debate Anne raised the environmental damage caused by disaster and in particular the contamination of water supplies to St Albans and Hertfordshire as a whole from the chemicals used to fight the fire.

Anne Main said: "Prior to the Buncefield disaster the Government fully intended to introduce a ban on some of the chemicals within the foam used to fight the fires and those found guilty of their possession of the chemical would have been imprisoned.

"Whilst we have received assurances that the drinking water supplies are unaffected these chemicals will have leached into the water table. As I said in my speech, for example, cows would be eating the grass that absorbed this contaminated water.

"We must now call on the Government to conduct a full environment assessment to avoid these chemicals causing a further environmental disaster than the fire itself already did."
