§ 127. Mr. Skinnardasked the Minister of Supply whether, in view of the difficulty experienced by small industrial units in obtaining a lair proportion of the available supplies of electric steel sheet used in the manufacture of telecommunication equipment for export, he will apply controls similar to those imposed on the distribution of mild steel sheet.
§ Mr. WilmotThe arrangements for the distribution of electrical sheet, which is controlled by my Department are at present being reviewed. While the present shortage continues, priority must be given to programmes directly contributing to the expansion of fuel nd power resources, and supplies to other users must, therefore, be restricted.
