§ Dr. Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement giving details of the national clean-up scheme.
§ Mr. Ridley[pursuant to his reply, 5 June 1986, c. 613]: I will make a full statement to the House in July, when the details of the new initiative have been completed and when all concerned are ready to launch the new scheme. I have invited a number of established national voluntary organisations to act as agents in launching the initiative, and I am happy to confirm that Mr. Richard Branson, chairman of the Virgin Group has been invited to be chairman of the board.
