§ 39. Mr. Dudley Smithasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what action he is taking to prevent a public nuisance being caused to residents of Chiswick by the faulty operation of the sewerage works at Richmond, Surrey, on the opposite side of the River Thames.
§ Mr. CorfieldThe Richmond Main Sewerage Board, who are responsible for the operation of the works, are carrying out improvements which should remove all cause of complaint. Some of the work should be completed in July, and the remainder by the end of the year. One of the Department's Chemical Inspectors visited the works on 21st February and has suggested interim measures which I understand are being adopted.
