§ 25. Mr. WATTasked the Minister of Munitions whether he has done anything to exploit the iron ore discovered in the hill of Allargue, in Banffshire; is he aware that analyses show that the percentage of manganese in this ore is as high as any found in any other part of the world; and will he say whether this source of supply of the wants of his Department in war-time is to be ignored?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYThis discovery had not previously been brought to my notice. I shall be glad to receive the fullest available particulars, with a view to an investigation by one of the mining engineers of the Ministry.
