HC Deb 15 April 1965 vol 710 c241W
68. Wing Commander Sir E. Bullus

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what further steps he is taking to ensure that more local authorities salvage wastepaper from households; and how many local authorities do not participate in the existing scheme of salvage.

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend has no further steps in mind at present, but he is keeping the matter under review. Out of 1,411 local authorities in England and Wales probably about 600 do not salvage wastepaper at all. This figure includes many of the smaller authorities.
