EXCLUSIVE: First Minister Humza Yousaf topped the 'revolting' list with his Pollok constituency facing 8.3million cubic metres of sewage discharged into waterways last year
The Daily Record can today reveal the 10 Scottish Government ministers in seats worst-hit by sewage dumping.
Green ministers Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater feature too, whose Glasgow and Lothian regions have seen hundreds of separate sewage spills. But it’s feared this could be a massive underestimate - because just 4 per cent of overflow points are monitored in Scotland, compared to around 90 per cent in England.
“I am calling for legally binding targets for reducing sewage, a complete ban on dumping on Scotland’s best beaches and the speeding up of efforts to upgrade Scotland's Victorian sewage network."
