HC Deb 01 March 1990 vol 168 cc288-9W
Mrs. Ann Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, further to his answer of 15 February,Official Report, column 411, whether all existing power stations will, in time, be required to be fitted with flue gas desulphurisation.

Mr. Trippier

Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution regard the fitting of flue gas desulphurisation equipment as the best practicable means for limiting emissions of sulphur dioxide from coal or oil-fired power stations. Existing plant is required eventually to attain new plant standards if its lifetime justifies this.
