HC Deb 16 January 1996 vol 269 c489W

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to publish pollution information on the Internet. [8635]

Sir Paul Beresford

The Department has pages on the CCTA's world wide web site known as hhtp://www.open.go.uk. Currently, the DOE pages include information on the Department's responsibilities for air quality and drinking water, plus the departmental press notices. The Department's air quality information and press notices are updated on a daily basis.

The Department will also be putting a selection of information from its digest of environmental statistics publication on the CCTA's world wide web site later this year.
