15. Mr. Willey

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works, as representing the Lord President of the Council, what publication is made of the measurements of air pollution made by, and submitted to, the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research.

Mr. H. Nicholls

Summaries of measurements of air pollution made by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research and by the 364 organisations co-operating with the Department are published annually by Her Majesty's Stationery Office in a Report entitled "The Investigation of Atmospheric Pollution."

Mr. Willey

Will the Parliamentary Secretary encourage the widest use of this information, and can he say how many of these organisations are local authorities?

Mr. Nicholls

The widest use is made of it. Of the 364 organisations, 331 are local authorities.
