HC Deb 21 February 1990 vol 167 c762W
88. Mr. Rost

To ask the Secretary of State For the Environment what proposals he has to cover industrial sites by integrated pollution control.

Mr. Trippier

Part I of the Environmental Protection Bill sets out proposals for a system of integrated pollution control (IPC) for the major industrial sites in Great Britain. We are the first country in Europe to legislate for such a sophisticated system of pollution control. We shall be consulting interested bodies on the categories of industrial processes which will be prescribed for integrated pollution control.
