HC Deb 11 September 1941 vol 374 c319W
Major Lyons

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Buildings whether he has yet circularised all local authorities explaining the steps it is intended should be taken for the sorting out, cutting up, removal and disposal of all potential scrap-metal and other material in damaged areas?

Mr. Hicks

A circular on the steps to be taken, in conjunction with the Ministry of Supply and the Ministry of Works and Buildings, for the recovery and disposal of iron and steel from damaged sites, was issued by the Ministry of Home Security to all local authorities on the 16th July. I shall be glad to send the hon. and gallant Member a copy of the circular.
