HC Deb 07 November 1893 vol 18 c343
MR. SAUNDERS (Newington, Walworth)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if his attention has been called to a serious outbreak of diphtheria and typhoid fever which broke out last year, and still continues, from long-neglected drainage; and if he will cause an inquiry into the circumstances?

MR. H. H. FOWLER

My hon. Friend has not stated where this outbreak of diphtheria and typhoid fever took place, and until I am aware of the locality I cannot answer the question. If he will tell me where it was I will inquire.

MR. SAUNDERS

Tottenham. Has the right hon. Gentleman received no particulars?

MR. H. H. FOWLER

No, Sir.
