HC Deb 29 May 1940 vol 361 c539
45. Mr. Wilfrid Roberts

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is satisfied with the steps that the Sutton and Cheam Borough Council have taken for the collection of waste?

Mr. H. Morrison

The Sutton and Cheam Borough Council have taken active steps to extend and improve their collection of waste materials, and their return for the month of April shows that the value of the material salvaged has more than doubled since December last. There is, however, room for considerable improvement before they equal the standard reached by many other boroughs.

Mr. Lyons

Can the Minister say whether any decision was reached at the meeting which he attended yesterday afternoon in relation to the appointment of compulsory salvage inspectors by all local authorities?

Mr. Morrison

I am afraid that I did not attend such a meeting.

Mr. Lyons

Is the Minister aware that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry stated yesterday that the right hon. Gentleman was that day attending a meeting on this matter?

Forward to
