Peter Bone raises the issue of a fly infestation in Rushden in the Commons.
BBC News, NorthamptonshirePeter Bone said it had affected residents near an industrial estate in Rushden, Northamptonshire.Leader of the House, Penny Mordaunt, said she could not create a "fly minister" role but she would contact the Levelling Up Department.
Mr Bone said he had been told by two North Northamptonshire councillors about a "fly infestation in the Pemberton area of Rushden". He told the Commons on Thursday he "surveyed the area" to confirm there was a problem and his parliamentary researcher plotted it on a map which he showed the Deputy Speaker."So, would the Leader of the House arrange a statement from the 'fly minister' to swat this problem," he said.In reply, Ms Mordaunt said she "may be testing the limits of the ministerial responsibility directory to allocate a particular individual to be a 'fly minister'".
She said she would make sure the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Michael Gove, "has heard his concerns".In 2014, residents and nearby businesses complained of a fly infestation at the industrial estate, which they said was caused by a nearby recycling plant.
