HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 c231W
33. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Health why the soil cart visits Kidlington, Oxfordshire, in the middle of the day; and what steps he will take to abate this nuisance.

Mr. Bevan

My attention had not previously been drawn to this matter. I understand, however, that the Rural District Council are unable to obtain the services of a full time scavenger to undertake this service and that the present collections by a part time employee can be carried out only when he is not engaged at his ordinary occupation: The Council have submitted a sewerage scheme for this area and I hope to be in a position to arrange a public inquiry into the scheme at an early date.
