HC Deb 25 April 1923 vol 163 c463
70. Mr. HILL

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that Earl Shilton, in Leicestershire, has no sewerage nor sewage disposal system; that quite recently it has been discovered that, in many cases, the house drains had been laid into the public road but not connected with the main drains, so causing sewage springs to burst out in the roads: and, as this is a large manufacturing village, will he make inquiries with a view of taking measures to ensure that the health of the residents is no longer jeopardised by the insanitary conditions which now prevail?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I have not received any complaints as to the sanitary conditions of this parish, but I am making inquiries.
