§ 68. Mr. M. Lindsayasked the Minister of Supply how many aluminium ingots and how much aluminium scrap were exported from Great Britain in the last three months of 1950.
§ Mr. G. R. StraussSeven hundred and twenty-one tons of aluminium ingots were exported during the last quarter of 1950, but much of this was in respect of licences already granted. Exports of aluminium ingots are now restricted to a small token quota. Shipments of aluminium scrap are not separately recorded in the Trade and Navigation Accounts, but an export licence for a quarter of a ton was issued during the same period.
