HC Deb 24 October 1989 vol 158 cc441-2W
Mr. David Porter

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received in the current year about straw stubble burning; and if he is proposing to take steps to ban the practice.

Mr. Maclean

By 20 October 1989, I had received 508 letters covering 744 representations on straw and stubble burning. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has already announced a far-reaching review of this matter in which we will be taking account of these and all the other representations received by my Department.
