HC Deb 16 July 1990 vol 176 cc455-6W
Mr. Squire

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, further to the answer to the hon. Member for Hornchurch, 14 June,Official Report, column 294, if he will indicate to whom the 27 daily summaries have been released and publish a telephone number for the public to inquire about levels of ozone pollution.

Mr. Trippier

We cannot precisely say to whom the daily summaries have been released because we do not record such information but the majority were requested by the media. My hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, the Member for Wells (Mr. Heathcoat-Amory), in his reply to a question from the hon. Member for Dewsbury (Mrs. Taylor) on 27 June, gave the telephone number of the Department of the Environment's public inquiries—071 276 3000—from which information about low-level ozone is available during episodes.
