§ 42. Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Minister of Supply whether he has yet conferred with the proprietors of newspapers regarding the proposal of the hon. Member for Greenock that each page of every news paper should display in leaded type the words "Preserve this paper for re-manufacture," or similar words?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonMy predecessor discussed this proposal with the newspaper proprietors and the latter have informed me that they are preparing a scheme for the recovery of old newspapers and intend to give appropriate publicity to the scheme in their papers. The point will be kept in mind in connection with the consideration which I am giving to salvage arrangements generally.
§ Mr. GibsonWill the right hon. Gentleman give any indication as to what is the proprietors' scheme?
§ Mr. MorrisonThere is a salvage scheme in existence, and I think that is well known to the House. As I have said, I am giving consideration to its improvement.
