§ 77. Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will introduce legislation to enable grants to be paid to householders for installing special grates to burn smokeless fuels in advance of that area being scheduled as part of a clean air scheme, where a smokeless grate is required on health grounds.
§ Mr. RipponNo. The interests of people suffering from air pollution are best served by vigorous action to establish smoke control areas. These are a far more effective way of cleaning the air than action by individual householders.
