§ 60. Mr. LEESasked the Minister of Health if he can explain the delay in putting into operation the proposed sewage scheme by the Belper Urban District Council; and when he exects operations on this project will be commenced?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI am still awaiting the receipt from the council of revised plans and estimates which were asked for in October last. I am, consequently, unable to indicate the probable date of commencement of the work.
§ Mr. LEESIs the Minister aware that if this sewage scheme were undertaken, it would provide work for 70 men for nearly 12 months; and will he use his influence to try to get it commenced, so as to reduce the number of unemployed in the town?
§ Mr. GREENWOODWe have been in communication with the local authority on several occasions, but one cannot compel them.
