HC Deb 24 November 1955 vol 546 cc145-6W
96. Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that many privately-owned tips in this country contain inflammable or otherwise dangerous material; and if he will take powers to regulate the dumping in the interests of public health and safety.

Mr. Sandys

This is primarily a matter for local authorities; and I have not so far received from them any request for increased powers.
