19. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs approximately what proportion of local authorities still dispose of their household and trade refuse by tipping or other means without first recovering any metal, glass, paper or textiles from it.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (Sir Keith Joseph)

My right hon. Friend has information from 464 authorities, including most of the large ones. Forty-five do not recover any of these materials.
