HC Deb 15 February 1966 vol 724 cc215-6W
Mr. Evelyn King

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will estimate by how much the price of Zambrian copper exported to Great Britain has been increased on account of sanctions against Rhodesia.

Mr. Mason

There has been no increase in the price of Zambian copper exported to Great Britain on account of sanctions against Rhodesia. On 3rd January, 1966, the Zambian copper companies raised the price of copper sold on a contractual basis from £304 a ton to £336 a ton. This increase followed similar increases announced by copper producers in other parts of the world.
