HC Deb 26 July 1988 vol 138 c159W
Mr. McCartney

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will make a statement on progress in drawing up a code of practice on reducing chlorofluorocarbons and halon emissions from new aerosols' sources in order to fulfil recommendations of the ozone group of scientists.

Mr. Atkins

As my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Environment announced on 14 June, at columns137–38, the Government will be studying the second report of the stratospheric ozone review group as soon as it is available. We have taken very careful note of the executive summary, but will examine the points raised in their fullest context.
