asked the Minister of Health how soon the Report of the Departmental Committee on the Disposal of London Refuse is to be published?

I am informed that the Report is likely to be signed in the course of the present month.

Has there not been some reason for the delay during the past three months which was not anticipated by the Minister?

No, only the delay occasioned by the unfortunate death of the Chairman.

Are we still to have all this refuse dumped in Essex?

As the Minister foreshadowed our having the Report in February, and it is now May, will he see that it is not only signed but published at a very early date?

There will be no delay in publication.
