HC Deb 17 October 1969 vol 788 c143W
Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Minister of Technology what research he is undertaking into means for effecting a reduction of atmospheric pollution by exhaust from internal combustion engines; and if he will make a statement on the outcome of the research.

Dr. Ernest A. Davies

Much of the research in this field is necessarily done by the manufacturers, but both the Ministry's Warren Spring Laboratory, and the Motor Industry Research Association, which receives a grant from the Ministry, carry out work needed for setting standards. Warren Spring Laboratory is principally concerned with surveys of pollution and M.I.R.A. with assisting its members to meet present and possible future social and statutory obligations.
