§ 169. Brigadier Medlicottasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the wastage of tins, bottles, paper and other articles which is now taking place; and if he will take steps, and if need be introduce legislation to initiate a salvage campaign and place the arrangements in the hands of a director of salvage, as was done with success during the late war.
§ Mr. BottomleyWe attach great importance to the collection of industrial 81W salvage, and would like to pay tribute to the excellent work being done by local authorities, the National Industrial Salvage and Recovery Council and the Waste Paper Recovery Association which, with my hon. Friend's full support, has recently launched a new drive for waste paper recovery. He would prefer to see what can be achieved by these voluntary efforts, before considering the re-imposition of statutory controls and the re-establishment of a Directorate of Salvage and Recovery.
