§ 5. Mr. E. L. Mallalieuasked the Minister of Works what steps he is taking to publicise the need for keeping London free during the Coronation celebrations from the blight of cigarette, ice cream and sweet cartons and other litter.
§ Mr. EcclesIt is proposed to call special attention to this matter by broadcasting and by an announcement to which, I hope, the Press will give publicity. I hope everyone will help to keep the streets and parks clean on this great occasion.
§ Mr. MallalieuIs the right hon. Gentleman satisfied that there will be an adequate supply of bins and baskets for receiving litter?
§ Mr. EcclesWe have ordered special cleaners and bins for the Coronation. I cannot say that there will be enough, but I hope so.
§ Mr. Emrys HughesCan the right hon. Gentleman tell us why the ice cream vendors are not entitled to exploit the Coronation just as much as the hotel proprietors? Will not the American visitors expect liberal supplies of ice cream and Coca Cola on the route?
§ Mr. EcclesI think we had better wait until 2nd June and see what happens.
