Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of the information supplied to him by the hon. Member for West Ham, North, regarding matters connected with the pollution of the environment, loss of life, danger to the aged and children, from the Channelsea River, Stratford, E.15, ownership or responsibility for which is denied by every public body other than Her Majesty's Government and by every private concern, he will cause an investigation to be made to ascertain what action he can take to improve this situation.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

I am looking into this urgently.
