HC Deb 02 February 1968 vol 757 c415W
Mr. Rossi

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government on what grounds he has not included an obligation for shopkeepers to remove snow on the pavement in front of their shops in his model bylaws under Section 81 of the Public Health Act, 1936.

Mr. Skeffington

Such an obligation, enforceable by penalties, would throw an unfair burden on shopkeepers who are aged or infirm.
