HC Deb 11 July 1935 vol 304 cc503-4W
Mr. DORAN

asked the Minister of Health whether he is now in a position to give a statement regarding the progress of the Beddington sewage scheme, Croydon; and whether he can assure people resident in the Mitcham, Thornton Heath, and West Croydon districts that all necessary precautions have been taken by his Department, in conjunction with the Croydon Corporation, against a repetition of the insanitary conditions which were experienced in these areas in 1934?

Sir K. WOOD

I am informed that a scheme for dealing with the whole of the sludge will be placed before the council at their meeting this month. Any scheme put forward will be fully investigated by the Ministry before sanction is given. Interim measures have been taken to prevent nuisance.
