§ 18. Mr. LORDENasked the Secretary of State for War whether, seeing that it was proposed to continue the anti-aircraft station at Putney Heath until a permanent site was found, he would give instructions for the station to be put in a cleanly and satisfactory state at once and some provision made for washing motors and lorries other than the roadway; and would he state what steps, if any, had been taken to prevent contamination of the filtered water in the reservoir?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI am informed that there is no other space for washing motors and lorries other than at the side of the road, where a special place was made for that purpose. Special precautions have been taken in order that the filtered water in the reservoir should not be contaminated, and the washhouses and latrines have been constructed well away from the reservoir. A sanitary inspector recently inspected this station and expressed his satisfaction. The Water Board were also satisfied with the arrangements made. Instructions have been issued for the station to be kept in a cleanly and satisfactory state.
