HC Deb 08 November 1955 vol 545 c169W
41. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works, as representing the Lord President of the Council, what recent progress has been made in research aimed at a better utilisation of waste paper.

Mr. Bevins

No research has been done recently under Government auspices on the better utilisation of waste paper. The reason for this is that the collection and sorting of waste paper is a laborious and expensive process, and lack of knowledge about its utilisation is not the main problem.
