HC Deb 08 May 1969 vol 783 cc126-7W
Mr. William Price

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what recent study has been made of the level of fall-out from Rugby Portland Cement premises in Rugby; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Greenwood

The Department's Alkali Inspectorate are studying the figures of dust deposits recently sent to me by the Rugby Borough Council. These reflect a long period of adverse wind conditions, together with intermittent difficulties arising from newly-installed arrestment plant. The Inspectorate are confident that improvements can be achieved and will continue to visit the works frequently.
