§ Dr. Littleasked the Minister of Supply whether, in view of the value of waste products to the nation at the moment, he will issue details to the public of the waste materials to be saved and have depots established at convenient centres over the country for the reception of these itemised products which would otherwise be lost?
§ Colonel LlewellinI would refer my hon. Friend to the replies given to the hon. Member for East Birkenhead (Mr. G. White) on 24th January and to the hon. Member for Dudley (Mr. Joel) on 22nd February. In addition to the general publicity given through the Press and broadcasting, a large number of local authorities have informed the public in their districts by handbills and local Press publicity of the materials to be saved. The establishment of depots for the reception of salvage in places where there is no house-to-house collection has been recommended to local councils and is 1387W being carried out in an increasing number of centres.
