HC Deb 10 December 1929 vol 233 c282W
Mr. W. THORNE

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the London County Council are developing the Barking section of the Becontree housing estate at a, cost of £698,000; that the work is held up because Barking had no main drainage system; whether any decision to construct a new main drainage system for that area has been arrived at; and what action he intends to take in the matter?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I understand that arrangements have now been made to meet the requirements in regard to drainage.
