HC Deb 20 July 1943 vol 391 c704W
Lieut.-Commander Tufnell

asked (the Minister of Supply whether his Ministry are continuing to collect tin cans; and whether it is expected that local authorities salvaging them must flatten and bale them before the Ministry will arrange for their transport?

Mr. Peat

The collection of tin cans is still of importance. It is essential, in order to save transport, that, wherever possible, tins should be flattened or baled by local authorities. Steps for improving the existing arrangements for clearance from local authorities are under active consideration.
