HC Deb 11 May 1965 vol 712 c28W
35. Sir Knox Cunningham

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what progress has been made in coordinating the activities of local authorities in a scheme for collecting large articles of household rubbish, such as water tanks, lavatory bowls, bedsteads, and mattresses, which at present are being dumped on road verges and common land throughout the country; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacColl

Local authorities were asked in 1960 to organise the collection of unwanted articles. The Working Party on Refuse Collection are considering this among other matters and when my right hon. Friend has their report he will be getting in touch with local authorities again.
