HC Deb 12 May 1893 vol 12 c778
MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that there is a serious up flow of sewer air at Hampstead and other of the Northern heights of London; and whether, in view of the possible visitation of cholera to this country, steps will be taken to inquire into and deal with the matter?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. H. H. FOWLER,) Wolverhampton, E.

The question has received, and is still receiving, the attention of the authorities. My hon. Friend will be glad to hoar that the death rate at North Hampstead of the last 10 years has been lower than in nearly every part of the parish.
