Under the powers of the Public Health (London) Act, 1936, six

Drainage.
Drainage plans submitted, 517. Combined Drainage Orders made, 64.
The examination of drainage plans submitted to the Council and the
subsequent inspection of the works set out in these plans form part
of the duties of the Sanitary Inspectors. Drainage works included in
these plans may have to be reconciled with the provisions of the Public
Health Acts, Housing Acts, the Food and Drugs Act, the Factories Act
and the Shops Act, according to the type of premises. Many provisions
of these statutes fall to be administered by the Public Health Department
