25. Colonel DUPREasked the Minister of Health whether he has received a petition from the inhabitants of Iver and Yiewsley protesting against the continuance of an insanitary refuse dump at Little Britain; whether it has been condemned by the local medical officers of health; and whether he will take steps to abate this public nuisance?
§ Sir A. MONDPetitions have been received from residents in the places mentioned. The whole question of refuse dumps in the neighbourhood of London is now under special consideration and negotiations are pending which, I hope, will lead to substantial improvements.
