HC Deb 26 October 1955 vol 545 c38W
109. Mr. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware that the underground gasification trials in the parishes of Bayton and Rock, Worcestershire, being conducted by the chief scientist's division of his Department, are causing severe pollution of the district with sulphurous fumes; what steps his staff are taking to alleviate this nuisance; and what instructions the chief scientist of his Department has given to the staff operating the underground gasification plant to conform with a policy of clean air.
