HC Deb 23 May 1927 vol 206 cc1663-4W
Major GLYN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether his attention has been drawn to the increasing nuisance of paper and débris being thrown about in the public parks instead of being placed in the receptacles provided for that purpose; and whether, in view of the decision of a magistrate that the term "depositing rubbish," as used in the Regulations, did not make it an offence to place rubbish in any place other than the proper receptacle, he will consider taking powers to make offenders to be punished?

Captain HACKING

It is intended to deal with this matter in connection with the preparation of revised Regulations under the powers given by the Act passed in the last Session of Parliament.
