I propose to take Questions Nos. 382, 392 and 397 together.

As of 2 October, applications in respect of the on-site wastewater treatment systems of some 165,253 owners, who have registered on-line, by post or in person at their local authority offices, have been processed. I understand that a further 85,000 owners have submitted registration applications which are yet to be processed by the bureau operated by the Local Government Management Agency. Householders who have not yet registered have until 1 February 2013 to register their system. Census 2011 recorded that there are 497,281 households served by septic tanks or other treatment systems. Details of the numbers of processed registrations for each County and City Council are set out in the following table.
