HC Deb 14 October 1968 vol 770 c34W
Dame Joan Vickers

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what action the Government have taken on Resolution (68)4 adopted on 8th March, 1968 by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe and relating to the declaration of principles on air pollution control.

Mr. Greenwood

Copies of the Declaration, with an explanatory note, were sent to nearly 450 journals and individual journalists specialising in local government and clean air matters. The declaration has been discussed by the Clean Air Council. I am glad to say that in this country our legislation already complies to a great extent with the principles in the Declaration.
