From the 1820s until the end of the nineteenth century the parliamentary papers contain a detailed and comprehesive account of the administration, scientific and engineering problems involved in the establishment of efficient sanitary services. Tremendous impetus to sanitary reform was given by the Chadwick Report on ‘the sanitary conditions of the labouring population’ (see IUP Health: General set) which showed that poverty and illness could be prevented if sanitary conditions were improved. As a result of this report several Select Committees and Royal commissions were appointed to examine methods of improving Britain’s sanitary system.
