HC Deb 03 July 1984 vol 63 c81W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on measures which his Department is taking to combat the effects of acid rain in Wales.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The Government's first priority is to establish causes before effective control measures can be determined. To this end my Department participates in acid rain research and I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply given to the hon. Member for Caernarfon (Mr. Wigley) on 12 June 1984, at column406.
