Sir L. Ropner
asked the Minister of Supply the amount of pig-iron imported from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1953; and what is the quantity of pig-iron which will be imported under existing contracts in 1954.
Mr. Low
No pig-iron was imported from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1953. Pig-iron can be imported freely under open general licence and I am therefore not in a position to give the forecast asked for in the second part of the Question.
