§ Mr. BuckleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what the target number of inspections and vists to be undertaken by the air pollution inspectors will be in the year 1989–90.
§ Mrs. Virginia Bottomley[holding answer 12 May 1989]: A target of 6,000 visits, to or in connection with registered works, is proposed for HMIP inspectors involved in air pollution control. This is a realistic estimate taking into account the need for significant amounts of inspector-time in developing a new system for registrations that will provide more information for the public.
