HC Deb 21 May 1986 vol 98 c196W
40. Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many representations he has received over the past year about the future arrangements for the London marathon; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tracey

I have had a number of contacts with the race director. I have received 17 letters and have answered two parliamentary questions on this subject. The Government will continue to give support and encouragement to the London Marathon, as it has this year and in previous years.
