HC Deb 06 December 1972 vol 847 cc418-9W
59. Mr. Peter Archer

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will introduce legislation to establish local tribunals exercising power to control the emission of smoke, dust and noise from industrial undertakings, as alternatives to prosecutions under public health legislation, or the common law action for nuisance.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

No, but my right hon. and learned Friend proposes to strengthen anti-pollution measures as and when necessary.
