§ 24. Mr. George Thomasasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the nuisance caused to householders in the Victoria Park area of Cardiff by the grit emission from the Ely Paper Works; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BevanYes, Sir. I understand that the conditions are caused by defects which have appeared in the grit arresting plant, and that temporary repairs will be made when the factory is closed at Whit-sun and more permanent repairs during the August recess.
§ Mr. ThomasWhile thanking my right hon. Friend for his reply, may I express the hope that he will keep in close touch with his Department about this matter? Is he aware that I raised this question with them a long time ago and apparently they have forgotten all about it, and will he keep in touch with them to ensure that the work is done?
