HC Deb 02 July 1951 vol 489 cc1893-4
44. Mr. P. Roberts

asked the Minister of Supply on what date the Iron and Steel Corporation drew his attention to the serious shortage of aluminium, nickel and zinc.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

The Iron and Steel Corporation are not responsible for aluminium, nickel and zinc.

Mr. Roberts

Will the Minister please answer the Question? I asked him on what date that information was given to his Department. Will he say whether such information was given to his Department or not?

Mr. Strauss

As the Iron and Steel Corporation have no responsibility whatsoever for aluminium, nickel and zinc, obviously they do not communicate with me on that subject.
