My back garden is very poor quality soil which is shallow on top of shale then clay,it is always waterlogged. Can I drain it into the foul water system.

Is there no surface water system present, Frank? Draining into the Foul is a last resort and needs to be 'trapped' to prevent bad smells escaping.

Have you read the FAQ on Improving Clay Soil? The suggestions therein are much cheaper and easier than installing land drainage.
