§ Mr. Steenasked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what is his policy towards the recovery of tin cans at central points on a similar basis to bottle banks;
(2) in view of the collection of 1,500,000 tin cans a year in the Leeds "Save a Can" experiment and their recycling 71W for other uses, whether he will take steps to encourage similar projects by other local authorities; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Giles ShawI fully support the schemes which enable the public to bring separate materials to central collection points for recovery. I welcome the can makers' current efforts to widen the coverage of the save-a-can scheme, and I hope other authorities will be able to match the achievements of the Leeds scheme.
