HC Deb 27 January 1948 vol 446 c137W
Mr. Sharp

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to what extent formaldehyde is now being produced in the British zone of Germany; how this compares with pre-war production; and what quantities can be made available for export to this country.

Mr. Mayhew

The present production of formaldehyde in the British zone of Germany is 2,000 tons a month compared with 3,300 tons a month before the war; as local requirements are estimated at 2,500 tons a month, none is available for export.
