§ Sir J. Leechasked the Minister of Health whether it is the practice of local authorities to require the registration with them or with his Department of the exact positions of privately owned cess-pits, 1296W septic-tanks, and drainage tanks and systems, so as to guard against risk of the pollution of local wells and streams in the vicinity of drinking-water supplies by overflow, percolation, or flood water, notwithstanding chlorination?
§ Sir K. WoodNo, Sir. But local building by-laws require the position of cesspools, etc., to be shown on the plans submitted to the local authority.
