HC Deb 05 March 1953 vol 512 c76W
Mr. Hastings

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power the relative proportion of sulphur dioxide and other noxious fumes discharged into the atmosphere from the complete combustion of the same weight of house-coal, coke and commercial fuel-oil.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

I am advised that the proportions of sulphur dioxide discharged into the atmosphere from the complete combustion of the same weight of the average types of house-coal, coke and commercial fuel-oil are approximately 1:1:1½. With complete combustion there are no other noxious fumes.
