HC Deb 05 November 1930 vol 244 cc864-5W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Health if he has completed his inquiries into the complaints raised by horticulturists, farmers, and others of the damage caused by waste deposits from cement factories; and whether the methods used in Germany have been considered in this respect?

Miss LAWRENCE

He is not aware of any particular methods which may be in use in Germany which have not been tried in Great Britain, but if my hon. Friend will indicate any particular system he has in mind, I will have inquiries made.
