HC Deb 19 May 1947 vol 437 cc210-1W
99. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Supply when the Control of Iron and Steel (No. 58) Order (S.R. & 0., 1047, No. 796), which was dated 28th April and came into force on 2nd May, was published; and why it was not presented to Parliament until 5th May.

Mr. Wilmot

The Order was published on Friday, 2nd May. Presentation copies were sent to the House the same day, but arrived after the House had risen.

Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Supply why the Control of Iron and Steel (No. 58) Order (S.R. & O., 1947, No. 796) did not consolidate the principal Order with the ten Orders amending it.

Mr. Wilmot

I hope to consolidate the existing Orders shortly, but I did not think it appropriate to do so in this par titular Order.
