HC Deb 22 July 1974 vol 877 c376W
Mr. Sainsbury

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on moves within the European Community to control pollution.

Mr. Denis Howell

The programme of action of the European Communities on the Environment, which was agreed in July 1973, listed a wide range of proposed action to reduce pollution and nuisances. Detailed studies of many of these are in progress and several proposals for Community action are now before the Council of Ministers.
