§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is aware that studies have been carried out relating to the pollutional effects of disposing of used car oil in drains; and whether consideration has been given to the introduction of collection points for used car oil.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsI am aware of this problem. Arrangements are in hand for the establishment of an informal working group to consider the disposal of awkward wastes arising in or around the home, and this will include used car oil.
