HC Deb 01 May 1941 vol 371 c587W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Supply whether, in view of the paper shortage, he will broadcast an appeal to owners of unwanted books and periodicals to hand them over for salvage?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

The question of a national broadcast appeal specifically for unwanted books and periodicals has been kept under review, but it is deemed preferable to aim at a more even flow of material by local appeals in one district after another. Accordingly, arrangements are being made for salvage drives or Paper Weeks on different dates in various districts, when special appeals will be made for unwanted books and magazines, as well as for other classes of waste paper.
