HC Deb 18 March 1926 vol 193 c584
34. Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a refuse dump, several acres in extent, at Greenford, Middlesex, is menacing the health of the inhabitants of this district; and will he take such action as will overcome the danger of infection during the coming summer months?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am aware of this dump. Recent inspections showed great improvement in the conditions, and there was no evidence that there was menace to health. I have, however, directed that another inspection shall be made.

colonel DAY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that when these barges arrive at this depot with refuse many dead animals are left on the dump?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

If that is so, no doubt it will appear in the report of my inspector.

captain O'CONNOR

Is it not the case that as soon as the hon. and gallant Member has been restricted in the number of questions he can ask he usually manages to introduce an equal number of supplementaries?
