HC Deb 08 December 1969 vol 793 cc21-2W
65. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Technology what is the percentage of reclaimed rubber used in the total rubber consumption of the country; whether he is satisfied with this percentage; and what steps he is taking to increase the amount of reclaimed rubber to save imports.

Dr. Ernest A. Davies

About 6 per cent. in the first half of this year. I am satisfied that our manufacturers are using reclaim wherever they can.
