HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 c1052
13. Lady CYNTHIA MOSLEY

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he has had under consideration schemes for the provision of work in levelling mining slag heaps and tips in areas where the reclaimed land might be of great value to local authorities as housing sites, playing fields, or allotments, and where the slag might be utilised to obtain valuable byproducts?

Mr. THOMAS

A proposal for levelling slag heaps in the Midlands area is at present under examination by the appropriate Departments. I do not know whether the slag contains valuable byproducts, but I will certainly have this suggestion examined.
