§ Mr. J. Grimstonasked the Minister of Supply what tonnage of zinc was consumed by the Royal Ordnance factories during 1949; what tonnage during the first nine months of 1950; and what allocation per month they now receive.
§ Mr. G. R. StraussThe amount of zinc used by the Royal Ordnance Factories represents only a very small proportion of total supplies, but it would not be in the public interest to give details. Current supply is related to their esential needs for defence purposes.
