§ Mr. Battleyasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the increasing need for the salvage of waste paper, he will consider the advisability of providing incentives to housewives and others, especially in the case of those who are prepared to take their salvage to collecting centres.
§ Mr. H. WilsonExperience has shown that the best incentive to housewives lies in the convenience of regular collection at frequent intervals direct from houses, such as is provided for by most local authorities for the urban areas. As a wartime expedient to overcome labour and transport shortages a number of local authorities, particularly in the rural areas, set up salvage collection depots, but it was found difficult to maintain them in a satisfactory condition and they gradually disappeared through lack of support.
