§ 43. Mr. OTHO NICHOLSONasked the President of the Board of Education whether the Special Committee of Scientific and Industrial Research, appointed to investigate the purification of river pollutions, have discovered a practical commercial process for the purification of the effluent from sugar-beet factories?
§ Lord E. PERCYI understand that it is not yet possible to say whether the working-scale experiments which are in progress under the supervision of the Water Pollution Research Board will lead to a complete practical solution of the problem referred to by my hon. Friend.
