HC Deb 04 February 1952 vol 495 c91W
125. Mr. Peart

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer his proposals to extend rationing of essential raw materials to industry and the details of arrangements to differentiate between the home and export market.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Control of the distribution of steel comes into effect today but, apart from this, no further rationing of essential raw materials is contemplated.

In answer to the second part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to the Chancellor's statement on the financial and economic situation on 29th January.
