§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement outlining the action undertaken by his Department resulting from the United Kingdom buildings effects review group report published in 1989.
§ Mr. MacleanA number of recommendations in the United Kingdom buildings effects review group report have been implemented. These include the setting up of the national materials exposure programme, the establishment of more urban pollution monitoring sites, the development of inventories of stock at risk for a range of economically important materials, work on air pollution effects on stained glass and the development of economic models to assess the costs of air pollution damage to buildings and materials. In addition, overall research on air pollution effects in a number of areas has been sustained as recommended in the BERG report.
