HC Deb 19 June 1952 vol 502 cc127-8W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Supply whether, in view of the improvement in supplies now available of copper, he intends to discontinue price control, licensing and distribution of this raw material.

Mr. Sandys

This would not be practicable, since copper is still subject to international allocation and the supplies to this country are still insufficient to meet current requirements.
