HC Deb 29 January 1942 vol 377 c948W
Mr. Parker

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply, what he intends to do with the quantities of scrap rubber which the scrap rubber salvage campaign has as its object, in view of the fact that there is not sufficient reclaiming plant in the country to deal with the scrap readily accessible?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

Reclaiming plant in this country is being extended, and provision is being made for storing for the future such accumulations as cannot be used as they are collected.

Mr. Parker

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply whether he is aware that the Ministry of Home Security have stressed the undesirability of large stocks of scrap rubber, and have taken effective steps, in some' instances, to have them dispersed; and whether his Ministry is carrying out the same policy?

Mr. Macmillan

Yes, Sir.
