asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is satisfied that local authorities are co-operating to the full in the collection of salvage, particularly waste paper.

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Accrington (Mr. Scott-Elliot) on 10th July. I am hopeful that the personal appeal of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy will have the effect of securing the local authorities' fullest possible co-operation up to the limit of their labour and transport resources.
