§ 77. Mr. Russellasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what response there has been to his appeal to local authorities to increase the amount of scrap metal recovered from household and trade refuse.
§ Mr. SandysA considerable number of local authorities have still to inform me of the action they are taking in response to my circular on this subject. Most of those who have so far replied say that they are intensifying their efforts to recover ferrous scrap in so far as the available plant and labour allow. A few who did not already recover any scrap are now considering doing so.
