The Public Health (Smoke Abatement) Act, 1926—
Byelaw Regulating the Emission of Smoke, 1931.
This byelaw was made by the London County
Council on 17th February, 1931, and was allowed by
the Minister of Health on 19th May, 1931, and regulates
the emission of smoke within the County of
London (excluding the portion of the area administered
by the Port Sanitary Authority of the Port of
London):—
The emission of black smoke for a period of three minutes,
and, after five years from the date of confirmation of this
byelaw for a period of two minutes, in the aggregate within
any continuous period of thirty minutes from any one chimney
of a building other than a private dwelling-house shall, until
the contrary is proved, be presumed to be a nuisance liable to
be dealt with summarily under the Public Health (London) Act,
1891.
There is a proviso in the byelaw that the chimneys of
buildings used for certain manufacturing processes (including
the smelting of ores and minerals, certain iron and metal
works and buildings used for the manufacture of glass) are
exempt from the byelaw, if the latter obstruct or interfere
with any of the processes mentioned.
