§ 107. Sir J. Lucasasked the Minister of Works if he is aware that the slight depression near the bathing pool in Hyde Park is being filled in with broken bottles, old iron and burned rubbish; and if he will at least dispense with the broken bottles in the interests of safety.
§ Mr. KeyThe practice has been to bury rubbish in depressions in order to dispose of it and at the same time to level the ground. I am considering whether less unsightly disposal arrangements can be made.
§ 108. Sir J. Lucasasked the Minister of Works if he will arrange for the more frequent collection of litter, paper and rubbish in Hyde Park, more particularly during the present hot weather; and if he will cause the broken glass to be collected from the vicinity of the North-West corner of the allotments since it has now been there for three years.
§ Mr. KeyOver 40 men are employed each morning on the collection of litter in Hyde Park, and I do not feel justified in increasing the number. The broken glass in the vicinity of the North-West corner of the allotments has now been cleared and the ground dug over.
