§ 65. Mr. Walter Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he intends to issue details of the Government's backing for the reclamation industry; and what financial assistance will be given for the installation of reclamation plant at the local authority tips.

§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsThe Government recognise the importance of the reclamation industry in helping to conserve raw materials and reduce problems of waste disposal. Regional development grants may be available under the Industry Bill in connection with some of the industry's activities in the assisted areas. Many local authorities salvage materials, without financial loss, but limiting factor is often lack of demand for the materials they could salvage from refuse at an economic cost.
