§ 39. Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Minister of Health when he will be prepared to give a decision on the application of the Essex County Council for leave to take proceedings in reference to the alleged pollution of the River Chelmer by the Felstead sugar-beet factory?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI hope to give an early decision in this case. I understand that the factory is at present closed down and that the company have expressed their willingness to carry out 1406 recommendations made by an expert called in to investigate conditions at factories of this kind.
