HC Deb 21 March 1929 vol 226 cc1839-40
35. Rear-Admiral BEAMISH

asked the Minister of Health whether he has now completed his inquiries regarding the pollution of the River Darenth and, if so, will he state the result; and what, if any, steps will be taken to abate the pollution?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

These inquiries are not yet completed. I am in touch with the district council and the county council, who are endeavouring to ascertain the cause and extent of the pollution.

Rear-Admiral BEAMISH

If I send the right hon. Gentleman information, will he consider it?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, I shall be very pleased to do so.
