HC Deb 23 November 1954 vol 533 cc1050-1
32. Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if the Beaver Committee on Air Pollution have yet given consideration to the cement dust nuisance in north-west Kent; and with what result.

Mr. Sandys

Yes, Sir. The Committee's conclusions are contained in its report, which will be published very shortly.

Mr. Dodds

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this information, if it is to be helpful, will be received with great relief by hundreds and thousands of people in north-west Kent, and can he say how soon will "shortly" be, and will there be some relief from this menace?

Mr. Sandys

I said "very shortly" and I mean a matter of days.
