HC Deb 03 December 1936 vol 318 c1427
60. Mr. VYVYAN ADAMS

asked the Minister of Health whether he can now state definitely whether he will, at an early date, introduce the Public Health (Drainage of Trade Premises) Bill, which was passed in another place last Session and received a First Reading in this House?

Sir K. WOOD

I am giving this matter sympathetic consideration, but I cannot yet say whether the introduction of the Bill, as a Government Measure, will be practicable in the present Session.

Mr. ADAMS

Will the right hon. Gentleman do what he can to minimise the delay, as river pollution is continuing unchecked at present?

Sir K. WOOD

Yes, Sir, I appreciate the position, and the hon. Member will, I hope, appreciate the state of Parliamentary business.
