§ 60. Mr. MATTERSasked the Minister of Health what action his Department proposes to take, following representations made in 1925 to the Hampton Urban 366 District Council, for the provision of a deep drainage system on Thames Ditton Island?
§ Mr. GREENWOODSome recommendations were made by my Department following an investigation made in 1925, but no further communications have passed since that date.
§ Mr. MATTERSIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the ordinary sanitary services on this island are entirely neglected, with the result that the conditions constitute a positive menace to public health as well as being destructive of the amenities of the river?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI was unaware of the problem until my hon. Friend brought it to my notice, and I have been in communication with the local authorities this week.
