§ 87. Wing Commander Robinsonasked the Minister of Supply what degree of priority is at present being given to the manufacture in this country of machinery for the tin-mining industry of the Empire; and whether, in view of the important dollar-earning potentiality of this industry, he will arrange to expedite the production of this machinery by all possible means.
§ Mr. LeonardThe importance of the industry is fully appreciated and every effort is being made to maintain deliveries of machinery. Special priority is, however, given only to programmes directly contributing to the expansion of fuel and power resources.
