§ Lieut.-Commander Tufnellasked the Minister of Supply whether he realises that the collection of bones would be an essentially useful proceeding in connection with manufacturing purposes; and whether he will investigate the extent to which, when treated, such bones could be used for the production of the recommended fertilisers for the land?
§ Mr. BurginI fully realise that the collection of household bones is desirable at this time, and the local authorities throughout the country have been asked1568W to give all possible assistance in this connection. I am informed that household bones, after treatment for the manufacture of glue, are subsequently used in the manufacture of fertilisers.
