HC Deb 27 November 1945 vol 416 c1268W
Sir W. Wakefield

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that firms manufacturing galvanised buckets for export and who have the necessary labour, are given M certificates, enabling them to get steel, but that the Government gives no instructions to steelmakers to roll steel suitable for buckets; and what steps he is taking to ensure that suitable steel is rolled so that firms manufacturing buckets for export may be able to proceed.

Mr. Leonard

I have been asked to reply. Steps are being taken immediately to ensure that supplies of suitable steel are made available for the manufacture of galvanised buckets for export.
