§ Mr. Geoffrey Finsbergasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the fountains in Trafalgar Square were turned off; for what reason; and when will they be operative again.
§ Mr. Marks:The fountains were extensively vandalised on 3rd June when they had to be switched off. They were operating again from 6th June, but they had to be shut down on 20th June for renewal of the electrical installation. I am pleased to be able to say that the fountains were switched on again at 10 a.m. yesterday.
