None.

Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Works what quantity of litter was swept up in the Royal Parks after Whitsuntide; and if he can give the total quantities for the years 1951 and 1952 to date.

Mr. Eccles

The quantity of litter collected after Whitsun amounted to about 11 tons, of which about 6¾ tons were deposited in litter baskets and about 4¼ tons left on the ground. The total quantity of litter swept up after public holidays in 1951 was about 53 tons, and after public holidays to date in 1952, about 32½ tons; no figures are available for the litter collected at other times during these years.
