HC Deb 06 December 1934 vol 295 c1851W
Mr. ALBERY

asked the Minister of Health, in view of the increased congestion in crowded thoroughfares and the changed nature of some of the fuels now used by motor vehicles, whether it is proposed to make further investigation into the possibility of exhaust fumes having harmful effects on the health of persons constantly employed in such congested areas?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I have been asked to reply. I have no evidence that the position has changed substantially since the question was considered by the Departmental Committee of the Home Office last year, but if my hon. Friend has any new evidence or specific proposals to bring before me I shall be happy to examine them.
