HC Deb 26 November 1963 vol 685 c47

The following Question stood upon the Order Paper:

6. Mr. HECTOR HUGHES

To ask the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs, if he is aware of the danger to health and pleasure of bathers caused by the sewage and other pollution poured into the sea at Brighton and other South of England seaside resorts, and of the inadequacy of the measures taken by the relevant local authorities; and if he will take steps to rectify this.

Mr. David James

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. The hon. and learned Member for Aberdeen, North (Mr. Hector Hughes) is not in his seat, but Question No. 6 contains, perfectly genuinely, no doubt, an error of fact in relation to my constituency.

Mr. Speaker

What has happened so far is that the Question has been withdrawn, so I am afraid that we cannot put things right here.
