HC Deb 13 July 1932 vol 268 c1281
35. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that doctors have certified that a nuisance at the sewage outflow in the village of Bugbrooke, Northants, is having a serious effect on the health of the inhabitants; and whether his Department is taking any steps to deal with the matter?

Sir H. YOUNG

My attention was drawn in April last to an alleged nuisance arising from sewage in a ditch at Bugbrooke. I communicated with the responsible local authority, who replied that they are taking steps to remedy the nuisance.

Mr. DAVIES

Will the right hon. Gentleman inform us whether those steps have actually been taken?

Sir H. YOUNG

I am actively making further inquiries on that point.
