HC Deb 20 April 1943 vol 388 c1530
44. Mr. Spearman

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give an assurance that the steel tubing formerly used for anti-tank defences or kept in dumps for this purpose and now found to be redundant will not be used for scrap, but when suitable, for industrial purposes?

Sir J. Grigg

Steel tubing which can be used will not be scrapped. Large quantities are needed by the Army and for other Government Services but large quantities should be available for industry.
