HC Deb 03 July 1932 vol 156 cc16-7
10. Colonel BURN

asked the President of the Board of Trade it his attention has been called to the pollution of the sea round our coasts by oil refuse in large quantities being thrown overboard from steamers; and will he take immediate steps to prevent the continuance of this objectionable practice?

Mr. BALDWIN

I would call the hon. and gallant Member's attention to the Oil in Navigable Waters Bill now before the House, which deals with the matter in question.
