§ 62. Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLEasked the Minister of Health how many local authorities have made by-laws under Section 5 of the Public Health (Smoke Abatement) Act, 1926; whether model by-laws under this Section have been 367 issued from the Ministry of Health for the guidance of local authorities; and, if not, will he state the reason?
§ Mr. GREENWOODNo local authority has made by-laws, or forwarded draft by-laws, under this Section. Model by-laws have not yet been issued, by reason of technical difficulties.
§ Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLEAre the practical difficulties such that opinion of the Ministry the Act is practically inoperative?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThat may be true. It is clear that the difficulties of framing adequate model by-laws are such that we have not yet been able to overcome them.
