§ Mr. Ensorasked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the necessity to restrict imports, what progress has been made by the working party of the appropriate Economic Development Committee in seeking to ensure that waste paper is collected on a national basis, thereby reducing the import of wood pulp in the paper mills of Lancashire.
§ Mr. DarlingThe Working Party on Waste Paper Supplies set up by the Economic Development Committee for the Paper and Board Industry is studying the information which it has now received from users and suppliers of waste paper. I am aware of the difficulties experienced by Lancashire paper mills in obtaining adequate supplies of waste paper but I understand that the position is now improving.
