HC Deb 07 February 1951 vol 483 c216W
111. Mr. P. Roberts

asked the Postmaster-General whether his stocks of copper and other raw materials are sufficient to enable him to maintain and expand the telephone services; and whether he will give an undertaking that the telephone position in Sheffield will not deteriorate any further.

Mr. Ness Edwards

The Post Office does not hold stocks of raw materials but takes all possible steps to ensure adequate supplies to the telecommunications industry. Sheffield will receive a due proportion of the equipment available to the Post Office subject to the demands of rearmament and export.
