§ Sir K. JosephDarlaston is in the provisional list of black areas drawn up by the Department. It is for the local authority to decide what use to make of its powers under the Clean Air Act to deal with air pollution, but my right hon. Friend would like to see these powers used vigorously in all black areas.
