HC Deb 26 April 1995 vol 258 cc536-41W
Mr. Ainger

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the annual emissions level from all large combustion plants in the United Kingdom for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and particulates since 1983. [20843]

Mr. Atkins

[holding answer 25 April 1995]: I refer the hon. Member to my written reply on 14 March 1995, Official Report, columns 536–38, detailing the SO2, NOx, and particulate emissions from power stations in England and Wales for 1991, 1992 and 1993.

For the remaining large combustion plants, at present Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution holds validated data only for 1992 and 1993. Data for the preceding years is not held in the form requested.

HMIP is responsible for large combustion plant within England and Wales only.
