HC Deb 04 March 1994 vol 238 c10W
Mrs. Ray Michie

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what discussions his Department has held with petrol retailers, the EC and environmental campaigners regarding proposed directives to compel garages to install forecourt pollution control measures; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Atkins

[holding answer 18 February 1994]: There is currently no proposal to require garages to install forecourt pollution control measures. We have been expecting proposals from the European Commission for some time. If such a proposal emerges then we will, of course, discuss it with the EC, industry, retailers and other interests.
