§ 37. Lieut.-Colonel Heneageasked the Minister of Health whether apparatus acquired or to be acquired for boiling or reducing kitchen waste suitable for feeding livestock, collected by local authorities, can rank for grant or for loan purposes?
§ Mr. ElliotI am prepared to consider, in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Supply, applications by local authorities for consent to borrow money for the installation of any necessary plant for the purpose indicated. Such plant would be revenue-producing; there is no Government grant available in connection with the expenditure.
§ Lieut.-Colonel HeneageWould the right hon. Gentleman let the local authorities know that he is prepared to consider this matter?
§ Mr. ElliotI hope that this Question and answer will draw their attention to the point.
