HC Deb 25 July 1984 vol 64 c722W
Mr. Tom Cox

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what monitoring of straw burning during the harvest period will be undertaken by his Department.

Mrs. Fenner

We have already started to monitor the position on straw burning by means of a weekly report from the Department's network of regional and divisional offices. In addition, we would hold regular reviews by drawing on information from other Departments and those organisations outside of Government which are concerned with this issue.
