HC Deb 17 November 1953 vol 520 c143W
85. Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware of the public concern resulting from the nuisance caused by effluvia from the River Thames; how many times the committee set up by his Department in April, 1951, has met; and when it is expected that a report will be submitted.

Mr. Marples

The committee has met six times and a sub-committee has met nine times and considerable research work-has been initiated. Extensive further research will be needed before the committee are likely to be in a position to make a full report.
