§ 54. Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Health whether any decision has been arrived at by his Department for the adoption of covered sanitary refuse carts by local authorities; and what recommendations have been made to the local authorities with regard thereto?
§ Mr. GREENWOODOn the general question of covered refuse vehicles, I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply to his question of 28th November last. If his present question relates to London, I may say that the report of the Departmental Committee on London Cleansing has now been received, and will be published as soon as possible.
§ Mr. DAYWill the same system of covered carts be recommended in the provinces as well as in London?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI have not yet read the report.
§ Major COLFOXHas the Minister any power to compel all carts used by day to be closed carts?
§ Mr. MUGGERIDGEIs the Minister in favour of having covered dumps as well as covered carts?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI understand that that matter is dealt with in the report, which is to be published.
§ Mr. MUGGERIDGEWhen, Sir?
