HC Deb 04 July 1989 vol 156 cc130-1W
Mr. Malcolm Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on dust emissions from British Steel, Redcar.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

[holding answer 3 July 1989]: Control of emissions to atmosphere from British Steel, Redcar including dust are the responsibility of Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution. Standards are set and are currently being met. There have been a number of complaints about dust arising from stockpiles particularly in high wind conditions. Work is in hand to minimise such occurrences.
