HC Deb 20 January 1913 vol 47 c26
42. Mr. WATT

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he proposes to introduce any legislation in accordance with the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Sewage Disposal so as to enable local authorities to deal satisfactorily with trade effluents which at present prevent purification of rivers; and, if so, will he say when he expects to introduce such legislation?

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

I have a Bill in preparation on this subject, but I am not at present in a position to say when it will be introduced.
