§ MR. GREGORYasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether it has been brought under his consideration that by the construction of the Nuisances Removal Act, 18 & 19 Vic. c. 121, and of the 29 & 30 Vic. c. 90, all works for manufacturing the produce of ores and minerals are exempt from the provisions of those Acts; and, whether he intends to introduce any Bill for the amendment and consolidation of the Sanitary Acts during the present Session?
§ MR. HIBBERT,in reply, said, the attention of the Local Government Board had been called to the fact that, under the construction put upon the existing Sanitary Acts, works for manufacturing the produce of ores and minerals were exempt 727 from their provisions, and the fact would be remembered whenever the Government introduced their measure for amending and consolidating the Sanitary Acts; but, in case they should not be able to do so during the present Session, perhaps the right hon. Gentleman the Member for North Staffordshire (Sir Charles Adderley) would be disposed to meet the case by inserting a clause in the Bill which he had already submitted to the House.
