HC Deb 28 June 1973 vol 858 c403W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many blast furnaces were operating in the United Kingdom in 1972; and how many of these gave rise to complaints derived from undesirable emissions in that year.

Mr. Emery

Forty-two on average. I understand that the Department of the Environment is not aware of any complaints about undesirable emissions.
