§ 1. Captain Pilkingtonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he will make a statement on the progress of his anti-litter campaign.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (Sir Keith Joseph)My right hon. Friend believes that the work being done by public-spirited organisations and individuals up and down the country is having an effect and that more and more people are being brought to realise that leaving litter is a deplorable habit. But we have a long way to go before we can be at all satisfied.
§ Captain PilkingtonCan my hon. Friend say whether the schools are co-operating in this work and whether he has any action to suggest for getting rid of the bus tickets and sweet papers which are scattered so much over the countryside?
§ Sir K. JosephSome schools are taking an interest in this matter. I should like to have notice of the other question. I will look into it.
