§ 45. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvineasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he is taking to control the fumes from oil burners used for central heating.
§ Mr. MellishI assume the hon. Member has in mind the smell which sometimes arises from oil burners in domestic central heating installations.
An advisory panel has been set up by the Warren Spring Laboratory of the Ministry of Technology to which local authorities can refer cases of this kind where the cure is not readily apparent. I understand that with the assistance of the oil companies the trouble can usually be remedied. No special control is called for.
