HC Deb 11 May 1948 vol 450 cc196-7W
89. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Supply if he will arrange for blister copper from Northern Rhodesia to be sent to the United Kingdom for processing and resale to the U.S.A. as wire products instead of being shipped direct so earning fewer dollars per ton.

Mr. J. Freeman

No blister copper from Northern Rhodesia is sold to the U.S.A Limited quantities are shipped to the U.S.A. for electrolytic refining and return to the United Kingdom for further manufacture.
