HC Deb 12 June 1947 vol 438 cc1317-8
18. Mr. Derek Walker-Smith

asked the President of the Board of Trade what procedure is now in force in regard to the separation of paper from other refuse col- lected by local authorities; and by what regulations it is prescribed.

Sir S. Cripps

The Directions under Defence Regulations 54B, served on local authorities requiring them to collect certain salvage materials, including waste paper, and keep them separate from ordinary refuse, still remain in operation. Local authorities for the more populous areas are being urged to see that the work is effectively carried out.
