HC Deb 18 November 1952 vol 507 cc141-2W
76. Mr. Drayson

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will modify his Order, Statutory Instrument, 1951, No. 275, to permit the use of copper freely, or in a more favourable ratio than the present one of 50 to 1, where such ratio refers to the selling price of an article in proportion to the value of the controlled material, copper, in it; or if he will remove from the Regulations articles each containing not more than 2 oz. of the controlled material.

Mr. H. Strauss

The modification of the present restrictions on the use of copper and copper alloys under this Order is under consideration.
