Mr. Erroll
asked the Minister of Supply why sole distribution rights for, the distribution of magnesium metal imported by his Department are to be given solely to the Magnesium Elektron Limited; and what steps he will now take to secure distribution fairly amongst all users of the metal as is done in the case of imported aluminium.
Mr. J. Freeman
No rights are being given to Magnesium Elektron Limited. Distribution will be controlled by the Ministry of Supply, and the firm may be employed as agents for storage and delivery.
