HC Deb 17 July 1950 vol 477 c144W
57. Mr. W. Fletcher

asked the Minister of Supply when it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to reopen the London Metal Market for dealing in copper.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

I would refer the hon. Member to the statement made by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary in the Debate on the Adjournment on June, 20th June, 1950, to which I have nothing May, 1950 to add. I am prepared to consider June, 1939 sympathetically any proposal which would overcome the difficulties to which my hon. Friend drew attention.
