HC Deb 18 January 1949 vol 460 c7W
61. Mr. Scott-Elliot

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps are being taken either to manufacture carbon black in this country, or to provide suitable substitutes from home produced tar products.

Mr. H. Wilson

Plans are well advanced for the erection of plant in this country to produce imported types of carbon black using American processes. One of the companies concerned is considering the possibility of using home produced tar products as their raw material in due course.
