Scrap Iron
Oral Answers to Questions — Ministry of Power
Mr John Arbuthnot (Dover)
asked the Paymaster-General the reason for the continued licensing and control of the export of scrap iron; and when it is likely to be discontinued.
Sir Ian Horobin (Oldham East)
The international trade in scrap is subject to the controls exercised by most other steel producing countries. If we unilaterally abolished export control, our home price and the continuity of supply would be in danger from the effects of these wholly artificial market conditions.
