§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is aware of the complaints being made about the emission of toxic chemicals in the Titford Road area of Warley; and if he will take action through the Alkali Inspectorate to deal with this matter.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsYes. I understand that recent complaints followed an emission of fumes caused by failure to close a valve while filling a tank. After consultations with the Alkali and Clean Air Inspectorate, the works management has been installing full automatic control on all such valves, together with an alarm system operative in the event of over-filling, and automatic cutoff.
