HC Deb 20 February 1930 vol 235 cc1589-90W
Mr. HURD

asked the Minister of Health if his attention has been called to the public nuisance created in and around great cities like London by the dumping of household refuse in places of public access; and what steps he proposes to take?

Mr. GREENWOOD

So far as London is concerned, any general action must await the report of the Departmental Committee which is now considering the collection and disposal of refuse. On the general question, I may say that, if the method of controlled tipping is adopted, with strict observance of the precautions recommended by my Department, of which I will send the hon. Member a copy, there need not be any nuisance.
