Captain FABERasked the President of the Local Government Board if he would state whether any complaint had been received concerning the pollution of streams from the foul oil which dripped on to the roads from motor cars; and whether such precautions as trays to catch the waste oil from the cars could be used with advantage to the roads and water supply generally?
§ The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)I do not find that I have received any complaints as to the pollution of streams from the cause referred to. As regards the latter part of the hon. Member's question, I may say that I have not as yet found it necessary to make any regulation on the subject.
Captain FABERHas the right hon. Gentleman seen in the Press that fish had been poisoned in the rivers by this motorcar oil?
