HC Deb 06 April 1970 vol 799 c30W
Mr. Golding

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will prevent the holding of a pop concert at Finney Green, Staffordshire, at Whitsun, in view of the lack of main drainage and other facilities.

Mr. Denis Howell

My right hon. Friend has no power to do so. It is incumbent upon the organisers of gatherings of this kind, in consultation with the local authority, to make the necessary sanitary and other provision to avoid creating a public nuisance.
