HC Deb 22 January 1948 vol 446 c372
42. Mr. McAdam

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will inquire into the refuse dumps adjoining what were once coal pits, in the Dairy area of Ayrshire, with a view to ascertaining what dross can be salvaged from those dumps, and sol for industrial use, either at home or abroad.

Mr. Gaitskell

So far as I have been able to ascertain, none of the dumps in this area contain dross that could usefully be salvaged and sold to industry, either at home or abroad. If, however, my hon. Friend has information about any particular dumps, and will let me have details, I will be glad to have further inquiries made.

Mr. McAdam

I shall have much pleasure in sending my right hon. Friend the information.
