HC Deb 29 October 1952 vol 505 c215W
Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware of the inadequate sewerage system of Lagos; and what steps are being taken to remedy this.

Mr. Lyttelton

Yes. In the low-lying situation of Lagos a system of pipe-borne sewage, which would be the ideal, would be too expensive. Accordingly, the policy is to introduce, and gradually extend, septic tank drainage.
