HC Deb 15 February 1972 vol 831 cc71-2W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the departmental working party set up under the chairmanship of Dr. F. H. H. Valentin of the Warren Springs Laboratory to examine the problem of unpleasant odours emitted by offensive trades is expected to report; and whether it is intended to publish the report.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

A first report is expected by autumn, 1973, but in view of the extensive field which the working party has to cover, a further report will be needed. These will provide material for a departmental handbook of technological advice to local authorities and those engaged in these trades, which will be published.
