HC Deb 13 June 1917 vol 94 c968W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether a report of the sanitary officer of Mullingar, with reference to the danger to the public health from an open sewer running from the military barracks there through certain private grounds, has been brought under the notice of the military authorities; and, in view of the danger increasing with the rising temperature, whether immediate action will be taken to have this public nuisance remedied and the public health safeguarded?

Mr. MACPHERSON

No such report appears to have reached the military authorities. No action is contemplated, as the local officers report that the whole sewage system, which is not an open sewer but a properly designed pipe line, is in perfect order.
