HC Deb 22 June 1953 vol 516 c104W
67. Mr. M. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Supply under what circumstances he insists on consuming firms and industries keeping statistics of steel deliveries; and whether, in view of the necessity for economy, he will relax his instructions.

Mr. Sandys

Twice a year the Ministry of Supply asks the larger steel consumers to provide a return of steel stocks, receipts and consumption. This information is obtained through the voluntary co-operation of the firms concerned.
