HC Deb 25 November 1957 vol 578 cc86-7W
81. Mr. Hastings

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what official researches have been carried out to determine the treatment necessary to render sewage incapable of the conveyance of infectious disease before discharge into the sea; and how long this treatment takes.

Mr. H. Brooke

On the information at present available, I do not think that the situation calls for research on the lines suggested. But I am keeping in touch with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health on this subject.
