§ Mr. POLLOCKasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the export of the golden and crimson sulphides of antimony from the United Kingdom is prohibited; whether these sulphides are capable of reduction to the metallic state; whether the golden and crimson sulphides are at the present time being exported from Germany; and, if so, whether there is any reason for prohibiting their export from the United Kingdom?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe export of golden and crimson sulphides of antimony from the United Kingdom is prohibited except to British Possessions. These sulphides are capable of reduction to the metallic state, but such reduction is not commercially profitable. It is not known whether the sulphides are at the present time being exported from Germany, but in view of the high price in Germany of antimony, is is considered improbable.
