§ 79. Mr. J. Lewisasked the Minister of Health under what regulation he is authorised to enforce the proper fencing of dangerous pits or quarry holes on private land which constitute a grave danger to children playing in the vicinity and which are in close proximity to the thoroughfare.
§ Mr. BevanI do not know of any regulation or statute enabling me to enforce 333W the fencing of a dangerous pit or quarry hole on private land in close proximity to a thoroughfare. In certain circumstances, however, a local authority may be able to take action to secure fencing. If my hon. Friend has any particular case in mind, perhaps he would send me details.
