HC Deb 29 November 1988 vol 142 cc191-2W
Mr. Ashley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he received a copy of the report from the National Society for Clean Air entitled "Air Pollution from Crown Property"; what response he made to the society; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Currie

Yes; we have asked regional health authorities to investigate the operation of those hospital incinerators cited in the report of which we had no previous knowledge. We have also informed the society of our intentions regarding the application of planned new emission controls to the National Health Service.
