§ 40. Mr. MOSLEYasked the Minister of Health whether he has yet taken any steps to prevent the dumping of refuse at Greenford, Middlesex, by the Marylebone Borough Council; whether he is aware that the Greenford Urban District Council is unable to proceed in the matter owing to the fact that the clump is technically under the jurisdiction of the Uxbridge Urban District Council; and whether he will state what redress the inhabitants of Greenford possess against a nuisance which is detrimental to the health of the community?
§ Dr. ADDISONI am not empowered to take the course suggested in the first part of the question. The dump referred to is situated in the Parish of Northolt, in the Uxbridge Rural District. It has been visited by one of the Inspectors of the Ministry, and after consideration of his report the Marylebone Borough Council have been asked to take every care to ensure that all necessary precautions are observed to obviate the possibility of the creation of any nuisance. With regard to the remaining parts of the question I may refer the hon. Member to the provisions as to nuisances contained in Sections 91 to 111 of the Public Health Act, 1875.
