§ 16. Mr. Doddsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what further progress has been made by the Air Pollution Committee; and how many times the committee has met since 1st January, 1954.
§ The Minister of Housing and Local Government (Mr. Harold Macmillan)The Committee is making rapid progress and expects to present a further report before the end of the summer. I understand that it has held a great many meetings, but the conduct of its business is its own affair.
§ Mr. DoddsThis inquiry is in respect of December, 1952. As many meetings have been held and much advice has been 993 given, is the Minister not yet in a position to take action in this very important matter?
§ Mr. MacmillanI am awaiting a further report, which I hope will not be too long delayed.
