HC Deb 13 November 1989 vol 160 c30W
Mr. Paice

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what measures he is taking to assist environmental initiatives by the British paper and board industry.

Mr. Trippier

[holding answer 10 November 1989]: My Department and the Department of Trade and Industry are in regular contact with individual paper and board manufacturers and relevant trade associations with a view to encouraging the use of recycled paper and board. The Government, with leading paper and board manufacturers, held a series of seminars earlier this year throughout the United Kingdom on recycling waste paper for use as newsprint, to which there has been a very positive response.
