HC Deb 17 July 1967 vol 750 cc173-4W
97. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether he has now studied the plan operated in Paris for the cleaning of privately- and publicly-owned buildings, details of which have been sent to him; and if he will put forward a similar scheme for London.

Mr. Prentice

As I indicated to the House on 10th July, I am aware of the methods used in Paris and will consider them further in the course of discussions I am having with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Housing and Local Government.

Mr. Whitaker

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether he will seek power to induce private institutions and local authorities to participate in a cohesive cleaning programme in selected areas of architectural importance, similar to that successfully operating in Paris.

Mr. Prentice

I would refer my hon. Friend to my Answer today to a similar Question by the hon. Member for Tyne-mouth (Dame Irene Ward).
