• Further regulations regarding lead in petrol will be announced before the Commons rise for the Summer Recess early in August.
Announcing this in the Upper House, Government spokesman Lord Mowbray and Stourton indicated that lead would not be banned.
"In this country a ban is not yet considered necessary, and we are now working on this matter in consultation with our European partners," he said.
The Government was working on the problem of achieving a still further reduction in pollution, went on Lord Mowbray, and he anticipated that before the end of the decade there would be further enormous reductions in emissions of hydro-carbons and carbon monoxides.
