HC Deb 18 November 1969 vol 791 cc243-4W
98. Mr. W. T. Williams

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what proposals he has to deal with the continuing problem of atmospheric pollution, particularly in the North-West and North-East of England.

Mr. Skeffington

My right hon. Friend is ready to accept smoke control orders not only from any local authority in a "black" area but also from other authorities, provided they are implementing clean air programmes which he has already approved.
