§ 20. Mr. KennedyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he last met representatives from the National Society for Clean Air to discuss atmospheric pollution.
§ Mr. TrippierAlthough my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has not met representatives of the National Society of Clean Air he is familiar with its work.
§ 78. Mr. HunterTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to increase the controls over air pollution.
§ Mr. Heathcoat-AmoryExisting air pollution controls are being reinforced in a number of ways. In particular, the Environmental Protection Bill strengthens and extends existing controls over air pollution from industrial plant and streamlines statutory nuisance control over other sources. We will shortly issue the draft plan to achieve substantial reductions in emissions of 202 and NOx from existing large combustion plants in the United Kingdom, and we are bringing in strict new standards to cut emissions of NOx, CO2 and hydrocarbons from cars.
