HC Deb 23 October 1950 vol 478 cc289-90W
Surgeon Lieut.-Commander Bennett

asked the Minister of Works what measures he takes to ensure the cleansing of the sand in the children's sandpits in St. James's Park.

Mr. Stokes

The sand is sprayed with disinfectant weekly, and is changed annually.

Surgeon Lieut.-Commander Bennett

asked the Minister of Works if he will as a matter of urgency provide toilet accommodation close to the children's playground in St. James's Park.

Mr. Stokes

The children's playground is not well placed in St. James's Park and I am considering whether a more suitable site with better facilities can be provided elsewhere.
