§ 50. Mr. Sorensenasked the Paymaster-General, in view of the nuisance caused by the emission of dust, grit, and fumes from the manufacture of a substance called "Clean Glow" by gas boards, if he will give a general direction to all gas boards to avoid manufacturing this product in the vicinity of domestic dwellings or, where it is so produced, to ensure the provision of effective screens and suction plants to avoid the nuisance.
§ Mr. Maudling"Clean Glow" is a special reactive smokeless fuel manufactured by the North Thames Gas Board at four gas works. At the Leyton Works the problem of air pollution was slightly aggravated when the manufacture of "Clean Glow" began, but the Board has already taken a number of steps which have greatly reduced the nuisance, and further measures are in hand. My noble Friend is satisfied that no general direction is necessary.
