HC Deb 08 May 1985 vol 78 c414W
21. Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what further proposals he has to reduce levels of air pollution; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

The Government intend to achieve further reductions in national sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions, aiming at a reduction of 30 per cent, from 1980 levels by the end of the 1990s, and it has played a prominent role in the Community negotiations which will lead to tighter vehicle emission controls.
