§ 88. Mr. Edelmanasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware of the substantial purchases by United States interests of iron ore from sources which customarily supply iron ore to Britain: and what steps he is taking to ensure that Britain obtains a fair share of the ore available.
§ Mr. G. R. StraussYes. I am aware of these purchases. Supplies of overseas ore currently available to the United Kingdom are, however, reasonable in relation to our requirements.
