HC Deb 26 July 1972 vol 841 cc300-1W
56. Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied with the existing systems to monitor pollution in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

I am at present reviewing our arrangements for monitoring pollution, and hope to make a full statement shortly. At this stage I can, however, say that some of these arrangements will certainly need extension and strengthening.
