HC Deb 01 July 1942 vol 381 c219W
Mr. Groves

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware of the large quantity of rubber, iron and other materials at the Bamfurlong tip, near Wigan; and whether he will take the necessary steps to utilise such material?

Mr. Peat

I understand that there is a certain amount of waste material at the Bamfurlong tip, near Wigan. This dump belongs to the London Midland and Scottish Railway, whose attention has been drawn to this matter and they have promised to take the necessary steps to secure the recovery of any valuable material.
