HC Deb 27 January 1971 vol 810 c115W
43. Mr. John Stradling Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he expects to introduce legislation to control the exhaust emissions from motor cars; and what is his estimate of the cost.

Mr. Peyton

I shall shortly be laying before Parliament a regulation to require new petrol-engined vehicles to be fitted with means to prevent fumes escaping from the crankcase. I am considering what further regulations may be needed.
