Mr George Hardie: ...take the real financial basis of rent, it is surely the cost of the erection of the house. The moment the contractor is paid and the scheme finished, then the local authority takes over all road, sewage, cleansing, etc., and they go on a definite rate. The difficulty has to be faced if we are going to get down to a real basis of rent, and, by following the course I have indicated, we come...
Sewage Disposal (Mitcham and District).
Mr Harold Balfour: ...high level, having regard to the economic facts. We are forcing our productive industries to pay more for coal than they would pay in a completely Free Trade market. Our power, water, gas, sewage disposal, housing, are all protected industries at the present time. They are sheltered. They have strong trade union agreements, and, under that form of Protection, their commodities cannot be...
Sewage Disposal Works, Hanwell.
Mr Samuel Hoare: ...Indian Army—there, again, I am told it was a case of agitators playing upon their Brahmin susceptibilities and telling them that if they went into the streets of Peshawar they would be defiled by sewage being thrown at them, and that the British Raj would not allow them to retaliate. This goes to show that, serious as may be many of the incidents that are taking place, we are faced not...
Miss Margaret Bondfield: ...of the difficulties with which we are constantly faced in connection with the Unemployment Grants Committee. I have no knowledge whatever of one of the schemes to which he alluded. As regards the sewage scheme to which he referred, he criticised the delays which have occurred, and that is the other side of the picture. Originally, the sewage scheme amounted to £108,000, and further...
Sir George Courthope: ...rain will rush off in a few minutes into channels which may have been adequate for the slow percolation of the moorland but were never intended by nature to carry the increasing flow from a modern sewage system or a modern drainage system. Take the big inland towns, the great cities of the Midlands, everyone of them importing enormous water supplies, not obtained from the catchment areas...
Mr Arthur Greenwood: ...the purpose of discussing certain proposals outlined by the council's waterworks engineer for supplying Northampton and other towns in the Midlands with water from Wales. The scheme of sewerage and sewage disposal which formed the subject of Mr. Marshall's inquiry on the 27th ultimo requires a good deal of further consideration, but no time will be lost in dealing with it.
Mr Robert Bourne: ...counsel, parliamentary agents, witnesses, and so on, is when two big local authorities are "scrapping" over a boundary scheme or something of that sort, or one is objecting to the other putting its sewage works in its area. This Bill will not do anything to stop either the cost or the length of such proceedings. That seems to me to be the first indictment against this Measure. A second is...
Mr John Train: ...free education, perhaps there is some thing in the argument in favour of free houses; but I wish to draw attention to the fact that something in connection with house building we have neglected is sewage purification and the provision of a good water supply. I see from page 38 of the report that the work of the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1929, is beginning to make itself felt, in...
Sewage Purification.
Mr Walter Elliot: ...attention on it to the exclusion of the remedying of other sanitary defects, or lead some local authority to think that Parliament attached some special importance to the provision of a water-borne sewage system. There are places in rural districts where a water-borne sewage system may be either undesirable or unnecessary. In any case, these words will leave the law as wide as possible,...
Mr Herbert Morrison: ...schemes considered by the two committes under the Development Act, with which the Minister of Transport is not directly concerned. The approvals under these, in respect of gas 'and water schemes, sewage and various town halls, baths, wash-houses and land drainage, represent some £20,000,000 of the sum which remains to make up the £135,000,000. It should be remembered that, in the main,...
Mr Daniel Somerville: ...of Health what action he is taking, in view of the representations made to him, respecting alleged defects in the sewerage system existing at Bournemouth and Poole as a result of the discharge of sewage into the sea?
Sewage Flooding, Kensington.
Major-General Sir Alfred Knox: ..., Chesham Bois, Chenies, Coleshill, Great Missenden, Little Missenden, and Seer Green, an area containing a population of 60,000; whether he is aware that this scheme involves the deposition of sewage at Gerrard's Cross; and whether, in view of the effect that this project would have upon the neighbourhood, he will withhold his consent?
Lieut-Colonel Charles Howard-Bury: 84. asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the lack of a water and sewage system at Margaretting; and, seeing that this is being provided for in the surrounding villages, will he look into the question and see whether Margaretting can be incorporated into the proposed new schemes?
Mr Fielding West: 50. asked the Minister of Health how many houses were flooded by sewage in Kensington during the years 1929 and 1930; how many of these houses have been supplied with flood-proof floors; and whether any compensation has been made to the tenants?
Sewage Scheme, Belper.
Mr Fielding West: ...wealth. He went on to say: A man and his wife and four children live in two basement rooms. Both are extremely damp and were flooded to the extent of eight inches over the window in June, 1927, by sewage water. Three children have been born since these rooms were occupied; all have died of double pneumonia, and the woman has had pneumonia herself. The family are extremely neat and clean...
