HC Deb 10 December 1929 vol 233 c280W
Dr. HASTINGS

asked the Minister of Health (1) if model by-laws have been issued by his Department to assist local authorities in framing by-laws regulating the emission of smoke from buildings in accordance with Section 2, Sub-section (1), of the Smoke Abatement Act, 1926;

(2) how many local authorities have issued by-laws regulating the emission of smoke in accordance with Section 2, Sub-section (1), of the Smoke Abatement Act, 1926, since the passing of this Act?

Mr. GREENWOOD

A model by-law has been issued for use under Section 2 of the Act of 1926, and I will send my hon. Friend a copy. Seventy-three local authorities have made by-laws under this Section.

Dr. HASTINGS

asked the Minister of Health how many convictions were secured by local authorities in 1928 for the emission of smoke from buildings of such a character as to constitute a nuisance?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I regret that this information is not in my possession.
