HC Deb 13 May 1935 vol 301 c1386W
Mr. MITCHELL

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he can take steps to have the scavenging in Richmond Park improved, with particular reference to glass bottles likely to injure horses?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I am informed that the trouble arises from bottles which are thrown into the bracken during the summer. It is almost impossible to detect them until the spring, when a general clearance is made. This year's clearance is still proceeding, and will be completed within 10 days. I would make a most earnest appeal to those responsible to realise the danger to general users of the park, as well as horses and dogs, which arises from their inconsiderate action.
