HC Deb 10 July 1968 vol 768 c65W
56. Mr. Ridley

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many tons a year of smelted aluminium are annually imported now; and how much he estimates will be imported in the early 1970's.

Mr. Dell

In the year ending May, 1968 imports of unwrought aluminium, including alloys, were 348,000 tons. Imports in the early 1970s will depend upon the level of domestic consumption and production.
