HC Deb 22 June 1921 vol 143 cc1381-2W
Mr. G. JONES

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the pollution of the River Lea by sewage; whether its present state constitutes a menace to public health; whether he will take steps for the purpose of remedying the present state of affairs?

Sir A. MOND

I am not aware that the present state of the River Lea con- stitutes a menace to public health, but if the hon. Member has any information to support the suggestion I shall be much obliged if he will supply me with it so that I may consider what action should be taken.
