§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what research he is funding, or is intending to fund, on the possible links between vehicle emissions and respiratory disease.
§ Mrs. Currie[pursuant to her reply, 24 March 1987]: None. Investigations of effects of certain pollutants that are common to vehicle emissions and other sources have however been funded by the Department in recent years and findings indicate that street levels are not sufficient to cause concern.
