§ Mr. Buchanan-Smithasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why his Department does not carry out research into the disposal of farm wastes, in view of the effect of these wastes on local sewerage problems.
§ Mr. GreenwoodThe Department has no research establishment but some work has been done on this subject by the Water Pollution Research Laboratory of the Ministry of Technology. I am advised that the most fruitful area for further research into methods of disposing of wastes is at the farm itself.
