Yesterday, Scottish Socialist MSP Rosemary Byrne led a debate on the issue of sewage dumping in Lanarkshire and across the country.
She said: 'The more that we find out about this murky business, the more concerns we have about transparency and accountability.
We are asking all those involved to come into the open and tell us the truth about what is going on.'
Opening the debate, Byrne called for more openness from Scottish Coal and Thames Water, who are supplying the sewage.
Byrne said: 'The disposal of sewage is being carried out in communities without their prior knowledge or consent and with little regard to the potential environmental hazards involved.
Why is this material being transported from England all the way up to Scotland to be dumped? We don't know.'
