§ 89. Sir T. Beamishasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if, in view of delay in the modernisation of Brighton's sewage disposal system, he will now give his approval, as a matter of urgency, to the scheme proposed by the Brighton Intercepting and Outfall Sewers Board for improvements to the Portobello Outfall; when he expects the work to begin; how it will be financed; and how long it will take to complete.
§ Mr. Denis HowellThe Board intends to borrow to pay for the scheme and arrangements are being made for a public local inquiry into its application for loan consent. The proposed programme for construction is a matter for the Board and it will no doubt explain it at the inquiry.
