HC Deb 02 November 1944 vol 404 cc967-8W
Mr. Craven-Ellis

asked the Minister of Supply if the policy of his Department provides that steel required by private industry for the production of household equipment will be released at the same price and upon the same terms as steel released for the Ministry of Works' requirements.

Mr. Peat

There are maximum prices for steel fixed by Statutory Order, but it is open to any purchasers to negotiate lower prices with the suppliers when the circumstances justify a reduction.
