HC Deb 17 November 1937 vol 329 cc396-7
69. Sir W. Davison

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that it is proposed to instal further boilers and generating plant at the Battersea power station; and whether he is satisfied that this extension will not be injurious to health or atmospheric conditions in West London?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health (Mr. Bernays)

My right hon. Friend has satisfied himself that there is no objection to this extension on grounds of danger to public health or of atmospheric pollution.

Sir W. Davison

Are any changes being made in the washing of the fumes coming from Battersea station in connection with the further extension of work?

Mr. Bernays

Stringent conditions have been attached. I have here a document which shows what has been done, and I shall be glad to send a copy to my hon. Friend.
