HC Deb 18 February 1969 vol 778 c62W
50. Mr. Alison

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what further steps he proposes to take to reduce foaming on the River Aire.

Mr. K. Robinson

I understand that the manufacturers are still trying to develop substances suitable for industrial use in place of those that mainly cause the foaming. The Standing Technical Committee on Synthetic Detergents are actively considering the problem.
