HC Deb 06 August 1940 vol 364 cc63-4W
Mr. Ammon

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that in February last the attention of his Department was called to a metal dump of 1,000 tons weight in London, for which appreciation and thanks was expressed, but that, in spite of attention being called on several occasions since, the dump still remains apparently untouched; and what steps is he taking to deal with this dump?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

The owner of the stock of scrap to which my hon. Friend refers has reduced his holding during the last few months from 1,000 tons to little more than 100 tons. The stock position is being carefully watched and undue accumulations will not be allowed to occur.
