HC Deb 13 February 1984 vol 54 c54W
Mr. Franks

asked 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. Waldegrave

There 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.
