HC Deb 13 June 1984 vol 61 c500W
48. Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to assess the effect of vehicle emissions on the environment.

Mr. Waldegrave

Vehicle emissions contribute to acid deposition and much of my Department's research programme in this field, totalling over £1 million in the present financial year, is relevant to assessment of the environmental effects of these emissions.
