HC Deb 04 February 1986 vol 91 c134W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any plans to examine the effects of acid rain in urban areas.

Mrs. Rumbold

Research is in progress by the Building Research Establishment and by external contractors on the effects of acid deposition on buildings and building materials. The Building Effects Review Group, which my Department set up to provide an up-to-date review of the subject, is expected to present an initial report by the end of the year.
