§ 40. Mr. Ellis Smithasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what consideration has been given by the Clean Air Council to the pollution of the air by diesel exhaust fumes; what advice has been submitted by the council in this respect; and what steps he has taken to bring such advice to the attention of local authorities.
§ Sir K. JosephThe Council still has this question under consideration.
§ Mr. Ellis SmithAs all who travel to the big industrial areas will admit, this is a very serious matter. Has not the time arrived for the Minister to consult the Home Secretary with a view to asking the police to take proceedings when they find that this is being done?
§ Sir K. JosephThat is not the Question that was asked, but I will draw my right hon. Friend's attention to it.
