HC Deb 23 February 1972 vol 831 c306W
52. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will give the date when he circulated local borough councils advising them of the need to license the placing of skips on public highways; and to what extent there has been a response.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

The circular was issued on 7th December, 1971. I have not thought it necessary to call for a report from local authorities on the operation of the new provisions.
