HC Deb 10 January 1916 vol 77 c1295W
Colonel GIBBS

asked the Minister of Munitions whether the recent regulations made in regard to platinum were meant to include the platinum which had already been used for mounting ornaments of jewellery?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The answer is in the affirmative. Arrangements are being made with the representatives of the trade whereby permission will be given to sell their existing stocks of jewellery provided that a guarantee is given that until further notice no platinum will be used for mounting or manufacturing jewellery.
