§ 80. Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLEasked the Minister of Health if he has received the report of the Metropolitan Boroughs' Standing Joint Committee on the recom- 2111 mendations of the Departmental Committee on London cleansing; and what action he proposes to take with a view to centralisation of the disposal of house, trade and street refuse in London?
§ Miss LAWRENCEMy right hon. Friend has now received a report from the Standing Joint Committee which indicates that 11 Metropolitan sanitary authorities were in favour of centralisation and 18 against it. The question is receiving my right hon. Friend's further consideration, but it is not practicable to contemplate introducing legislation this Session.
§ Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLEIn what manner will it be possible for the House to assist in devising legislation for the purpose of discussing the problem?
§ Miss LAWRENCEI do not see any prospect of the Government introducing legislation this Session.
