§ Mr. Franksasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the level of acid rain that falls annually in the county of Cumbria as a percentage of the United Kingdom total.
§ Mr. WaldegraveThere are insufficient data to calculate acid deposition in the county of Cumbria as a percentage of the United Kingdom total. The recent report by the review group on acid deposition in the United Kingdom indicates that the amount of deposited acidity in Cumbria is similar to that in other comparable high rainfall areas.
