HC Deb 23 April 1951 vol 487 c12W
99. Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Minister of Supply if he will make a statement on metal supplies, particularly as affecting the Midland engineering and brass foundry industries.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

I have at present nothing to add to the statements which have recently been made on metal supplies. On the effect of the shortages on Midland engineering and brass foundry industries, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Sparkbrook (Mr. Shurmer) on 16th April.
