HC Deb 16 July 1936 vol 314 c2257W
Mr. LESLIE

asked the Minister of Labour whether the sewage disposal scheme recommended for the Trimdon district of Durham by Mr. Malcolm Stewart has been accepted by the Sedgefield rural district council; and to what extent will this scheme provide work for the unemployed men in the district?

Mr. E. BROWN

I am informed that the Commissioner has under consideration an application for assistance from the Sedgefield Rural District Council towards the cost of a small sewerage disposal scheme in the Trimdon district. Certain outstanding questions have now been disposed of and approval for a grant from the Special Areas Fund will shortly be issued. About 10 men will be engaged on the work for four months.
