HC Deb 10 February 1993 vol 218 c634W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on recent air quality audits conducted in Wales by the Warren Spring Laboratory on behalf of the Government.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

The Warren Spring Laboratory conducted a survey of nitrogen dioxide levels in the United Kingdom in 1991–92. All the readings for Wales were well below EC guideline limits.

The laboratory is also currently taking measurements in Wales as part of a survey of toxic organic micropollutants in urban air and an interim report was published in September 1992. Monitoring is continuing and trends in readings are being analysed.

Copies of the published reports of both surveys are held in the Library of the House.
