§ Mr. Hobdenasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he plans to take to advise and assist local authorities to provide sewage systems inland, as distinct from discharge into the sea.
§ Mr. GreenwoodBecause the growth of population and the increasing use of water will create problems in the treatment and disposal of sewage, I have decided in conjunction with the Secretary of State for Wales to set up a working party to review this matter. The working party will consider the public health, amenity and economic aspects of the various methods of sewage disposal. I hope to announce the membership shortly.
