HC Deb 13 June 1901 vol 95 cc268-9
MR. PHILIPPS (Pembrokeshire)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that it is proposed to convey the drainage from the new barracks at Pembroke Dock into Milford Haven at a point where there are valuable oyster fisheries; and whether he is aware that the Local Government Board prevented the Pembroke Urban authority from conveying their sewage to this point owing to the probable danger of typhoid; and whether he will cause inquiries to be made with a view to the drains being diverted to another point.

MR. BRODRICK

The hon. Member has been misinformed. The drainage system of the new barracks will be connected with the approved town drainage system now being carried out.
