HC Deb 16 April 1975 vol 890 c103W
43. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to give assistance to local authorities which have ceased to collect paper for recycling as a result of the fall in used paper prices in order to encourage them to recommence collections.

Mr. Crosland

The first step must be to secure a more stable market so that schemes are not made unprofitable by a drop in sales or price. The Government's Advisory Group on the Recycling of Waste Paper is urgently studying how this can best be done.
