HC Deb 09 June 1986 vol 99 c20W
Mr. Ron Davies

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he will list the main causes of pollution in Britain in order of magnitude and estimate, for each factor, the percentage of total environmental pollution for which each is responsible;

(2) which pollutants derive from vehicle exhaust fumes and, in each case, in Britain, what percentage of the total amount of these pollutants in air-borne pollution they presently represent.

Mrs. Rumbold

Information about the emission and discharge of pollutants in the United Kingdom, including that from vehicles, is given in the Digest of Environmental Protection and Water Statistics published annually by my Department. A copy of the latest digest is in the Library of the House.
