HC Deb 21 January 1913 vol 47 cc239-40W
Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Sewage Disposal in favour of alterations in the law so as to make further provision for the treatment of trade effluents, for the better definition of the respective duties of the local authority and of the manufacturer, and for the payment of an extra contribution towards the cost of treatment by the manufacturer in special cases; and whether he proposes

to introduce legislation on these lines at an early date?

Mr. BURNS

I am aware of the recommendations of the Royal Commission, but I cannot at present say when I shall be in a position to introduce legislation on the subject.
