HC Deb 24 October 1949 vol 468 c997
34. Mr. Blackburn

asked the Minister of Supply what quantities of steel billets were exported to France in the first six months of 1949; and whether, in view of the shortage of steel, further exports have been forbidden.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

Apart from very small quantities of alloy steel and tool steel billets, which are not in short supply, the export of steel billets from this country is forbidden.
