HC Deb 09 March 1953 vol 512 c88W
82. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Materials what percentage of industrial sulphur requirements he expects to be available during the coming year; how much short-time working will this involve; and what steps he is taking to increase sulphur supplies.

Sir A. Salter

I expect the needs of industry to be fully met except for sulphuric acid manufacture. Sulphur will only be available for making sulphuric acid to the extent that the acid required cannot be made from other materials.
