         each clause.  Oral and written evidence can be submitted, and all proceedings
         are  recorded  in Hansard,  so you can read  them  online.  Some shorter Bills need
         only one meeting,  and  others can  stretch into  many hours of scrutiny  and
         discussion.  So  far  we have had  6  sessions on the ARIA  Bill,  and  it  is now  with  the
         House of Lords.
                                            Also announced was the Environment Bill,

                                            which  will  include  new legal duties  to
                                            tackle  sewage discharges into  rivers and
                                            help protect our waterways. Many of you
                                            have been in touch to  express concerns
                                            about  storm  overflows  in  Dorset,  and
                                            these  changes  are  planned   to  be
                                            implemented by the end of this year.
                                            It  will  be  another  busy  session  of
                                            Parliament in Westminster, but as always I
                                            am continuing my surgeries, so please do
                                            get  in touch  if  you  need  support.  You
