HC Deb 28 April 1947 vol 436 cc157-8W
5. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Supply why priority in steel supplies is being given to domestic oil-burning equipment but no priority is being given to steel supplies for the British oil-producing industry overseas.

Mr. Wilmot

Priority is given to such steel requirements of the British oil-producing companies overseas as are needed for the coal-oil conversion programme.
