HC Deb 18 May 1953 vol 515 cc105-6W
75. Mr. M. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Materials whether, in view of the dissolution of the Sulphur Committee in the United States of America, he will now cease to require British manufacturers to furnish him with particulars as to quantities of this material used.

Sir A. Salter

No. The information required has been reduced to the minimum and it has been found possible to dispense with returns from some 1,200 small users. Simplified monthly returns are still however necessary from importers of sulphur and firms using sulphur in bulk, particularly in view of the continuance of the United States' control of exports.
