HC Deb 31 October 1939 vol 352 c1773W
Mr. Lunn

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that there are burning slag-heaps on the east and west sides of Crigglestone colliery, near Wakefield; that the farmers in the area have protested because of the destruction of crops, and they are having a serious effect on the health of the people in the district; and will he say what steps he proposes to take for dealing with the matter?

Miss Horsbrugh

Yes, Sir. My chief inspector visited the heaps last week and informs me that the owners are now taking the action recommended for abatement.
