HC Deb 24 January 1968 vol 757 cc139-40W
Sir H. Harrison

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what progress has been made by the Committee set up between his Alkali Inspectorate and the cement industry, to prevent blobbing from chimneys in the cement factories.

Mr. Greenwood

The first task is to establish the cause of blobbing, which is still not clear. There is no quick answer to the problem of prevention, but the industry and the Inspectorate are tackling it energetically. I will keep the hon. Member informed of progress.
