§ 30. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether, in connection with the anti-litter campaign which is to be put into effect, he will issue a circular suggesting to local authorities and all those providing outdoor entertainment, such as race meetings, that more litter baskets should be set up, in view of the fact that, although many people wish to keep litter off the ground, there are no receptacles, and in view of the difficulty of carrying about such litter as banana skins and orange peel.
§ Sir K. JosephRepeated recent circulars to local authorities and a campaign guide, by the Department and the Keep Britain Tidy Group this year, all include this advice.
§ Mr. JannerWill the hon. Gentleman give more publicity to these circulars with a view to seeing that baskets are provided? Is he aware that the public would be glad to have an opportunity of putting its litter in the proper places, but that receptacles are frequently not available?
§ Sir K. JosephThe number of bins has been increased, but no amount of bins can cope with same occasions. We must hope that the public will arrange to carry its litter away until it can dispose of it.
§ Mr. JannerCarry it to where?
