HC Deb 25 November 1970 vol 807 c132W
108. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to amend the law, so as to prevent companies from being able to avoid their responsibilities in regard to the creation of nuisance by hiding under the phrase of "best practicable means".

Mr. Peter Walker

No. I am not aware of any such abuse, but if the hon. Member has a particular case in mind perhaps he would write to me.
