HC Deb 25 May 1978 vol 950 cc694-5W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress has been made towards the publication of a code of practice on the control of odours from vegetable drying plants; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Marks

An extensive research programme has been carried out on odour abatement, jointly sponsored by the Department of the Environment, local government and industry. Summaries of the findings are now being composed, and in due course a manual of guidance on the use of odour abatement techniques will be issued.
