HC Deb 27 September 1909 vol 11 cc913-4
Mr. W. THORNE

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he received a communication, dated 20th September, 1909, from a person living at Dukinfield, Cheshire, in connection with the administration of the Public Health Acts in Dukinfield, about the state of the closets and ashpits of the houses, and whether he is aware that in consequence of the writer's name being divulged, he has received notice to quit; whether this is a distinct breach of faith; and whether he intends taking any action in the matter?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)

I have received the communication referred to. The writer states that he complained to the sanitary inspector of the town council of the sanitary condition of the row of houses in which he lives, that his letter was read to the sanitary committee, and that as a result of his name being thereby disclosed he has received notice to quit from the agent of the property. I am in communication with the town, council with regard to the matter.
