Hon. Oliver Stanley: ...aspect of the scheme, and no doubt will take advantage of the technical knowledge at their disposal. The sort of schemes, the types which are approved, are those for the reclamation of land, sewage schemes, and amenity schemes, which do involve a certain amount of improvement in the neighbourhood and, therefore, some prospective results to industry in the future. When the hon. Member...
Mr John Burnett: ...of State for Scotland what action he proposes to take with regard to the complaints which have been made to him by the River Tweed Commissioners as to the pollution of the river by domestic sewage?

Mr John Withers: ..., local authorities who will not be up to that standard, and who may think that they are doing a very clever thing by buying land under the Bill for amenities and reselling it, or embarking upon a sewage farm or cottages, or something of that kind. We hope that the Minister's view of the local authorities is right, but the matter ought to be put beyond temptation, and it is by no means...
Oral Answers to Questions — Water Supply and Sewage Disposal, Skelton.
Mr James Maxton: ...problem. I only came across this local government problem last week-end. The township in which I live when I am in Scotland is faced with the necessity of making very considerable extensions to its sewage disposal works. It is a comparatively small community and is called on for a large capital expenditure in this direction at a time when it has incurred very large responsibility in the...

Mr Godfrey Collins: ..., and I will take every available step possible, by way of encouragement and pressure, to impress those local authorities which are not moving in this direction to proceed with schemes, so that the sewage problem throughout Scotland may be dealt with.
Mr Thomas Levy: ...are not interfered with. If we look at the map, we find that the areas to which I have referred lie by natural geography within the area of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Brighouse has to take the sewage of these three areas; Halifax cannot take it at all. Hipperholme, to which I will refer, does not adjoin Halifax, but is on the other side of a hill, with a large belt of territory...
Mr Archibald Skelton: ...£90,000. The next question is, what else is the Commissioner doing apart from activities connected with the land? He is giving great assistance to water schemes and sewerage schemes. Schemes of sewage purification will require for their completion an expenditure of £1,088,000 and the Commissioner proposes to find £490,000 of this sum. Scottish Members of the Committee will be interested...

Beddington Sewage Scheme.
Mr Ernest Brown: ...at South Shields. Slag heaps are to be cleared and levelled and a great improvement made. In certain localities, such as West Hartlepool, sea fronts are to be improved and protected, and numerous sewage and water schemes are being assisted. Open-air swimming baths are to be constructed, and a grant is being given to the Gla- morgan County Council for the construction of an up-to-date...
Mr Charles Peat: ...for industry if you like. Say to industry, "You must take care of your unemployed. If you put a factory down in a green field you will be expected to bear a proportion of the expenses for schools, sewage, roads, buildings and everything else." But when you have made those conditions be very careful not to hinder efficiency in industry, because on that rock we are going to build a structure...
Sir Kingsley Wood: ...I am informed, however, that the sanitary conditions at Pinxton are not regarded as satisfactory, and that the rural district council have under consideration a scheme for the reorganisation of the sewage disposal works of the parish.
Sewage Scheme (Mid-Glamorgan).
Mr Hugh Dalton: ...for Scotland. In any case, what have these Commissioners accomplished? Nothing but a few pathetic little odds and ends, a few men settled on the land in one corner of some special area, a little sewage improvement here, a new swimming pool there, little odds and ends, utterly inadequate both in scale and conception to the problem before us. It is like trying to cure a cancer by taking...
