§ Mr. GROVESasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the strong local opposition in Bournemouth, he will take steps to secure an alteration of the present method of sewage disposal, whereby at certain states of the tide sewage is washed back into the bay causing not only unpleasant conditions for bathers, but possible risk[...] to health from bathing and from the consumption of fish caught in the bay?
§ Sir K. WOODI am aware of these allegations against the present method of sewage disposal. The allegations are receiving the urgent attention of a Joint Committee of the Borough Councils of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole with a view to any necessary remedial measures. I am keeping in touch with the work of this Committee.
