HC Deb 23 May 1974 vol 874 c258W
48. Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in view of the nuisance caused to residents in Ash Vale by fly infestation from his Department's refuse tip in Government Road, Aldershot, he will make arrangements to discontinue use of this tip forthwith.

Mr. Freeson

No. Immediate discontinuance of use of the tip would severely embarrass the local authority. Arrangements are being made to close the tip in mid-1975 and I will write to the hon. Member.
