HC Deb 24 April 1951 vol 487 c45W
120. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Works what quantity of steel he has authorised for use in connection with the Festival of Britain.

Mr. Stokes

The Festival of Britain covers the whole of Great Britain. At this juncture, with only a few days to go before the opening, I am not prepared to divert the energies of the Festival office staff to getting out the quantities of steel used for the official and unofficial events being planned for the Festival all over the country.
