§ Dr. MarekTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the purpose of the works and repositioning of the storm gutters on the footpath adjacent to the Jewel tower next to the Houses of Parliament; and what further work is to be done so that rain water does not collect across the pavement.
§ Mr. Baldry[holding answer 21 June 1993]: The provision and the subsequent maintenance of storm water drainage is a matter for the local authority. I suggest that this matter should be addressed to the city of Westminster.
