HC Deb 24 November 1927 vol 210 cc2048-9
34. Mr. ROBERT WILSON

asked the Minister of Health whether he can make any statement as to the working of the Smoke Abatement Act?

Sir K. WOOD

The Act came into force only on the 1st July last. I may say, however, that byelaws as to the emission of black smoke have been approved for a number of authorities. Some regional advisory committees have been set up. A draft Order extending the Alkali Acts has been prepared and considered with representative bodies and the statutory inquiry will be held next month.
