§ SIR L. PLAYFAIR (Leeds, S.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, in view of the recent establishment in Lancashire, and elsewhere, of an important manufacturing process for the extraction of sulphur from the tank-waste of alkali works, steps will be taken to include this and similar operations involving the production of noxious gases under the provisions of the Alkali Act?
§ *MR. RITCHIEThis matter has been receiving my attention, and I have given directions for the preparation of a Bill on the subject.
