§ 91. Mr. LOVAT-FRASERasked the Minister of Transport if the experiments being made by the London Power Company with a view to preventing any danger from sulphur fumes coming from the Battersea power station have been completed; and, if so, whether the results have been satisfactory?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Herbert Morrison)The Electricity Commissioners inform me that they have not yet received the report of the experiments to which my hon. Friend refers.
§ 92. Mr. LOVAT-FRASERasked the Minister of Transport if he has received any complaints of offensive fumes emitted from electricity generating stations in the neighbourhood of Regent's Park; and, if so, what action he proposes to take?
§ Mr. MORRISONComplaints with regard to the emission of fumes from the generating stations in the neighbourhood of Regent's Park have been brought to my notice and the Electricity Commissioners have been in communication with the undertakers on the subject. The London Power Company are conducting a series of tests on a full scale plant which is now in operation in connection with one of their chimneys. The Marylebone Council have appointed a committee of experts to advise them in the matter. I do not think any further action on my part is called for at the present time.
