HC Deb 12 July 1960 vol 626 cc93-4W
71. Mr. V. Yates

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he is aware that annoyance has been caused over a long period to residents in the Milk Street and Fazeley Street area of Birmingham, arising from offensive odours originating in the premises of Midland Organics Limited, of River Street, Birmingham; and if he will have an inquiry made with a view to the removal of the cause of this public complaint.

Sir K. Joseph

This firm's process is subject to the city council's control under the Public Health Act, 1936. I understand that after consultation with the council the firm have installed plant which has appreciably reduced the smell and the possibility of further improving this plant is now being investigated.
