HC Deb 17 March 1972 vol 833 c200W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what he is doing to encourage the re-cycling of scrap materials.

Mr. David Price

It is basically for industry to exploit the commercial advantages of re-cycling. However, the Government recognise the importance which attaches to this activity and keep it under review to determine whether more intensive recovery is practicable. There is a continuing programme of work at Warren Spring Laboratory in connection with the recovery and re-cycling of scrap material.
