HC Deb 10 March 1952 vol 497 cc99-100W
21. Mr. Philip Bell

asked the Minister of Supply the total weight of steel allocated to constructional engineers in periods 1 and 2 for 1952; and what is the estimated capacity of the rolling mills for such steel during the said periods.

Mr. Sandys

It is not the practice to give information about allocations made to particular industries. Rolling mills produce steel for many purposes other than constructional engineering. I regret therefore that it is not possible to give the estimate for which my hon. Friend asks.
