§ 59. Major SALMONasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the residents in some 300 houses on the Elthorno Heights Estate, Hanwell, Middlesex, suffer inconvenience from the odours which emanate from the sewage-disposal works in the vicinity; whether his attention has been called to the proposal of the corporation of Ealing to expend the sum of £11,500 on the enlargement of such sewage-disposal works; and what steps, if any, he proposes to take to ensure that the nuisance at present arising from the works shall be permanently eliminated in the interests of the health of the residents?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI have received complaints. The town council have applied for sanction to a loan for the improvement of the works and inquiry into the application was recently held by one of my inspectors. On receipt of his report, I will consider the appropriate steps to be taken.
