§ 14. Mr. Kenneth Thompsonasked the Minister of Health if, in view of the nuisance caused to local residents by grit and smut effluent, he will instruct the Liverpool Regional Hospital Board to use in the boilers of Walton Hospital a better grade of fuel than the 1¼ inch washed slack at present used; and if he will authorise the purchase of a grit-arresting plant for use in conjunction with the present boilers.
§ Mr. ThompsonWill the right hon. Gentleman see that something is done about this, in view of the very serious effect upon the health of people in the neighbourhood?
§ Mr. BevanI understand that the main reason for this is the overuse of the apparatus, rather than in the nature of the fuel used.
