HC Deb 12 May 1989 vol 152 cc549-50W
Mr. Colvin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish in theOfficial Report the results of stack emission tests carried out by HMIP on industrial plants.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The results of tests carried out by HMIP on emissions to the atmosphere are not generally published because many of them are of an investigative nature rather than routine tests for compliance with emission limit values. Test results are often summarised for individual premises in the district annual reports that are made available locally.
