§ MR. DIMSDALEasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether he is now prepared to state what modification, if any, he will consent to make in the standard of purity laid down in Clause 33 of the Public Health Bill?
§ MR. STANSFELD, in reply, said, that his invitations for suggestions on the pollution of rivers clauses had been very liberally responded to, and he had received a sufficient number of answers to take them into consideration immediately. He could assure the hon. Member that in re-drafting the clause in question—for it would probably amount to that—he would take care that every Member of the House, and everyone outside interested in the matter, should have ample opportunity of considering the modifications he might contemplate.
