§ Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Minister of Supply what local authorities in Scotland supply to householders bags for the collection of waste paper or other, and, if so, what, useful raw material in connection with the salvage campaign?
§ Mr. BurginMy Department has no information as to the local authorities in Scotland which supply to householders bags for the collection of waste paper or other salvage material. It was not considered necessary to include a request for such information in the already somewhat extensive Return forms which local authorities are asked to render monthly. I am aware that Edinburgh has adopted this practice for paper, and it may have728W been adopted by other Councils in Scotland, but there would be difficulty in extending it owing to the shortage of bags.
