HC Deb 14 February 1966 vol 724 c188W
Mr. Brewis

asked the President of the Board of Trade from what countries the United Kingdom is obtaining copper, tobacco, gold and asbestos as a result of orders being diverted from Rhodesia as a result of sanctions.

Mr. Jay

The tobacco industry will not have to purchase from alternative sources for some time. The main alternative source of asbestos is Canada. Purchases of copper and gold from Rhodesia were marginal to British supplies.
