HC Deb 05 March 1984 vol 55 c423W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government with regard to the correlation of the production of energy with the level of atmospheric pollution.

Mr. Waldegrave

The Government recognise the need to have regard to the environmental implications of energy production. That need has recently been highlighted by the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution in its tenth report, and the Government are considering the Royal Commission's recommendations.
