§ 6. Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will seek powers to give directions to local highway authorities concerning the repair and upkeep of pavements.
§ Mr. JannerIs the hon. Gentleman aware of the deplorable state of pavements in various parts of the country, particularly in Leicester? Does he not agree that with winter approaching this is a particular hazard to elderly people? Will he not do something to enable local authorities to fix pavements and not merely roads?
§ Mr. HeseltineThe local authorities have all the powers they need and I suggest that the hon. and learned Member gets in touch with them.
