HC Deb 05 June 1956 vol 553 c42W
56. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what report he has received from the district alkali inspector about the experiment with a smoke arrestor, carried out at Chesterton, Newcastle-under-Lyme, on 9th May; and to what extent his Department will promote the use of such devices in the campaign for clean air.

Mr. Sandys

The inspector informs me that he attended a most interesting demonstration of this equipment. However, much fuller information and more prolonged experiments are needed before I could give a reliable opinion as to its practicability and effectiveness in regular use under normal conditions.
