HC Deb 28 October 1946 vol 428 c40W
10. Mr. D. Marshall

asked the Minister of Supply whether, in view of the announcement of prices to be paid for tin produced in Malaya and Nigeria and of the desirability of stimulating home-production, he will state the new basic metal buying price applicable to Cornish tin ores.

Mr. Wilmot

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Camborne (Commander Agnew) on 14th October. It is expected that the average price for this year will be in the neighbourhood of £450 per ton of tin in ore.
