§ Mr. Galeasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give the number of local authorities which have now adopted the model byelaws to control straw and stubble burning; and if he will name those authorities;
(2) if he will list those local authorities that have not adopted the new model bye laws for the control of straw and stubble burning.
§ Mr. MellorOut of a total of 401 local authorities empowered to make straw and stubble burning byelaws, the 104 authorities listed in table 1 have notified the Home Office that they intend to adopt the new model byelaws. Of the remainder, the 81 authorities listed in table 2 have byelaws based on the previous models. It would be misleading to list the 216 authorities which have not made any byelaws, as many of these are in urban or other areas where cereals are not grown.
