HC Deb 22 March 1917 vol 91 cc2042-3
26. Mr. TICKLER

asked the Secretary to the Local Government Board whether the Board's refusal to grant the application of the Southall-Norwood Urban District Council to put down a plant for the conversion of the house refuse into fuel was because the Board was not aware of any statutory authority for the proposal; and, if so, whether the Board will state what additional authority is required by them?

Mr. HAYES FISHER

As I stated in my answer to my hon. Friend on the 8th instant there are other considerations which affect this matter.
