§ Mr. Skeetasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to what extent acidity of agricultural land in the United Kingdom has been increased due to the deposition of sulphur from power stations.
§ Mr. StrangThe emission of sulphur from power stations and other sources is one of the causes of soil acidity, but I am advised that the total amount of sulphur emitted from power stations has not changed greatly over the past decade.
