HC Deb 08 December 1954 vol 535 c49W
76. Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, in view of the suggestions made in the Final Report of the Beaver Committee on Air Pollution concerning motor vehicles, what consideration he is giving to this aspect of the Report.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

The Committee say that the law on the subject of smoky motor vehicle exhausts is adequate and that the problem is one of enforcement, which is a matter for the police. My Department has already asked for the co-operation of the principal associations of users of diesel-engined vehicles to avoid smoky exhausts, and they have promised full support.
