§ 20. Derek TwiggTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what measures she intends to introduce to reduce pollution in industrialised areas. [592]
§ Mr. MorleyThe Government are determined to tackle pollution from industry in a cost-effective and proportionate way. Emissions to air, water and land from major industrial sources are tightly controlled under the Integrated Pollution Control system and the new Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control system.
