The cost of the sewage disposal plant at the camp to which my hon. Friend refers was 1,200. The plant was designed and installed in accordance with the best expert advice, but it was subsequently decided to abandon the scheme in deference to representations by the local authorities that the local water supply might be contaminated. The camp drainage was accordingly connected to the main sewer at a cost of £2,490. The machinery of the abandoned sewage plant will be used elsewhere. I am satisfied that no blame attaches to any officer of my Department, and the question of disciplinary action does not therefore arise.
