HC Deb 11 July 1973 vol 859 c344W
47. Mr. Trew

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will discuss with local authorities the need to maintain supplies of waste paper as a raw material for the paper and board industry.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

No. If there were a steady, long-term demand for increased quantities of waste paper at prices which covered local authorities' costs, I have no doubt that local councils could, and would, collect more.
