HC Deb 07 July 1943 vol 390 cc2111-2W
Mr. Loverseed

asked the Minister of Supply what steps have been taken to prevent the dumping, for use after the war, of turnings and residues containing high percentages of tin and copper, by firms engaged on machining work on nonferrous materials?

Sir A. Duncan

The Ministry of Supply is in close touch with the main consumers of non-ferrous metals and ensures, when releasing virgin metals, that full use is made of any scrap available. I have no reason to suppose that there is any undue accumulation of scrap by machinists, but if my hon. Friend has any particular case in mind I shall be glad to make inquiries.
