HC Deb 29 January 1931 vol 247 cc1175-6W
Mr. WEST

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the flooding with sewage-tainted water of domestic premises in Kensington; whether plans have been prepared by the borough council of Kensington for the improvement of the main-drainage system in the borough; and whether premises known to be liable to such flooding are still in use or have been evacuated?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I have made inquiry and understand that this flooding occurs only in times of very exceptional rainfall, and that the main sewerage system serving the borough is now otherwise sufficient. The premises which have experienced flooding are still in use, but any necessary cleansing has been done to the satisfaction of the local sanitary authority.
