HC Deb 02 July 1940 vol 362 c694W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Minister of Supply, in view of his new decision to make salvage collection compulsory, what steps he proposes to take to enable more plant to be provided for the scientific utilisation and conversion of the additional salvage that will be collected in consequence; and whether he will consider setting up a small committee of experts to evolve efficient plans for this purpose as rapidly as possible?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

The directions my right hon. Friend has issued to local authorities requiring the provision of an efficient service allow of the salvage of the specified materials in separate bundles, and accordingly do not necessarily involve the provision of refuse separation plants. With regard to the last part of the Question, I am in consultation with my right hon. Friend.
