§ Mr. Aspinwallasked the Minister of Transport if he will issue a code of practice to ensure that the design of rubbish skips deposited on the highway incorporates a lighting and visibility system that is not vulnerable to vandalism and is effective.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeAs I said in reply to my hon. Friend on 13 February 1980 —[Vol. 978, c.723–4]—I have no reason to believe that the present arrangements for lighting skips are not effective.
§ Mr. Aspinwallasked the Minister of Transport if he will bring forward legislation to require that parties depositing skips on the highway should be compulsorily insured against third party risks.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeNo. Compulsory insurance is at present restricted to motor vehicles, and I see no reason for extending its scope to cover builders' skips.
