HC Deb 21 December 1965 vol 722 c385W
4. Mr. Longden

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, what is the target date for clean air in Greater London under the Clean Air Act, 1956; and if he is satisfied with the progress being made by the local authorities concerned.

Mr. Mellish

The various target dates proposed in 1962 by the local authorities then responsible are no longer valid. It is early to judge the performance of the new London boroughs, but my right hon. Friend has no reason to think that the generally satisfactory progress made by their predecessors will not be maintained.
