HC Deb 23 June 1971 vol 819 c287W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he will hold joint consultations with the Secretary of State for Wales and the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry on the question of atmospheric pollution in the South Wales valleys;

(2) if, in conjunction with the Welsh Office, he will commission an adequately manned and equipped research survey into the atmospheric pollution in the South Wales valleys.

Mr. Peter Walker

Some valuable research on pollutants in the atmosphere in South Wales has been carried out, and is continuing, at the Swansea College of the University of Wales. I am considering with my right hon. Friends whether further work is called for.
