§ 121. Mr. Russellasked the Minister of Materials what commodity markets which were open in pre-war years are still closed, other than those dealing in foodstuffs and the Liverpool Cotton Exchange; what are the prospects of their being reopened; and if he will give any estimate of the foreign exchange earned annually by these markets before the war.
§ Sir A. SalterNone, apart from copper. This is under constant review and the intention is to allow the exchange to reopen as soon as conditions permit. I am afraid it is not possible to answer the last part of the Question.
