HC Deb 25 April 1951 vol 487 cc63-4W
49. Mr. W. Fletcher

asked the Minister of Defence what arrangements are being made within the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation to ensure that stocks of essential raw materials are stored in such a way to ensure the maximum protection against all forms of modern air attack and the possibility of sabotage.

Mr. Shinwell

The responsibility for storage of stocks of essential raw materials lies with the individual North Atlantic Treaty nation owning such stocks. No arrangements are being made by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation as such.
