HC Deb 11 April 1962 vol 657 cc151-2W
Mr. Malcolm MacMillan

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will draw the attention of appropriate firms to the availability of the feldspar deposits, partly exploited during the war years, at Rodel, Isle of Harris, with a view to industrial development in that area.

Mr. Erroll

My belief is that the existence of these deposits is already widely known, and the information available to me raises doubts if they could be economically worked in competition with material from other sources.
