HC Deb 17 January 1924 vol 169 cc286-7W
Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the acknow- ledged evil effect upon the health of the community and the wastage of money caused by ever recurring fogs in our great cities, he is able to state that his department is doing all possible to expedite the passage into law of the Smoke Abatement Bill?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

It is proposed to reintroduce the Bill to which my hon. Friend refers, and I hope it may be found possible to secure its passage into law during the present Session.
