§ Sir T. Mooreasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Aircraft Production whether he can give any indication of the amount of aluminium scrap which has so far been obtained from the appeal; and what arrangements have been made to collect the desired form of aluminium scrap from the various aluminium scrap merchants in the country?
§ Colonel LlewellinI am not yet able to give an indication of the weight of aluminium scrap obtained from my Noble Friend's appeal, but we know that it is substantial. Aluminium scrap of good quality can only pass into the hands of manufacturers under licence from the aluminium controller, and licences are only issued for its sale to those who are going to use it for essential national purposes.
