<p>We have received a number of reports about this pressing environmental issue.
Our High Commissioner has raised concerns about water contamination with the Chief
Minister of the Northern Province, and with the Mayor of Jaffna. He received reassurances
that, although oil contamination had been a problem in the past, testing of water
samples abroad had shown that the oil content was now below the danger level. Other
staff at our High Commission visit Jaffna on a regular basis and there have not been
any recent reports that cause concern, but staff will respond appropriately if new
reports emerge.</p>
