HC Deb 03 August 1972 vol 842 cc188-9W
Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is aware that studies have been carried out relating to the pollutional effects of disposing of used car oil in drains; and whether consideration has been given to the introduction of collection points for used car oil.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

I am aware of this problem. Arrangements are in hand for the establishment of an informal working group to consider the disposal of awkward wastes arising in or around the home, and this will include used car oil.
