§ Mr. PeatAll Scrap iron collected by my Noble Friend the Minister of Works and Planning is, transferred without charge to the Ministry of Supply, who arrange for its disposal. Any sales of scrap by the Ministry of Supply direct to consuming works are made on the Ministry's behalf by the British Iron and Steel Corporation (Scrap), Limited—a nonprofit-making company under the direction of the Iron and Steel Control. The prices charged are within the maximum prices set out in the Second Schedule to the Control of Iron and Steel (No. 14) (Scrap) Order, 1940, of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy. Sales through merchants are subject to the same limitations.
