§ Ms. RuddockTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the purpose of the chimney which has its outlet adjacent to a window of Room GO1, Norman Shaw South; what substances are emitted from that outlet; whether any health risks are associated with those substances; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ChopeThe flue provides the outlet from the gas central heating boiler serving 1 Canon Row. It discharges exhaust gases diluted with fresh air to reduce the carbon dioxide content to less than 1 per cent. This complies with British Gas recommendations for emissions from low-level outlets.
