§ 60. Mr. SHORTasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the case of Lord Chesham and another versus the RUCKS Council in which an injunction, with damages and costs, was granted restraining the council from polluting the River Chess with matter from a sewage farm; what were the legal costs incurred by the council; and whether he proposes to take any action against the council respecting the pollution of the river?
§ Sir K. WOODI presume the hon. Member refers to an action brought against the Chesham Urban District Council. The costs of the council amounted to £13,596, 1s. 6d. Works which should obviate the pollution of the river have now been carried out by the council.
