HC Deb 28 June 1948 vol 452 c180W
79. Mr. Warbey

asked the Minister of Supply why 10,600,000 dollars of U.S. aid under the European Recovery Programme is being applied to the purchase of aluminium from Canada when this commodity can be obtained from Norway or other countries participating in the organisation for European Economic Co-operation.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

European sources cannot supply us in sufficient quantity nor at a low enough price.
