§ Mr. HendryTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what have been the results of the monitoring that has been carried out by his Department of the emissions from the Ferro-Alloys chimney in Glossop, Derbyshire for the last 12 months for which figures are available, giving the average and maximum levels for each month.
§ Mr. AtkinsMy Department has not carried out any monitoring itself. However, the company has supplied information about sulphur dioxide releases over the 12-month period to the end of February 1995. Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution is writing to the company to seek its consent to release this information, and I will be writing to the hon. Member.
