asked the Lord President of the Council if he will consider making a survey of atmospheric pollution in the Black Country.

The Lord President of the Council (Mr. Herbert Morrison)

Regular measurements of atmospheric pollution are made in the Black Country by four local authorities and one commercial firm, as part of the investigation of atmospheric pollution carried out cooperatively between the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, local authorities and other organisations. Special surveys of matter deposited from the air have also been made at Bilston and Walsall.
