Mr. Fell
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will appoint a working party to consider the law relating to the sale of old metals.
Sir. D. Maxwell Fyfe
Yes. In view of representations which I have received from various quarters, I have decided to set up a Working Party with the following terms of reference:
The Working Party will comprise representatives of the Home Office, the Ministry of Supply, the local authorities and the police.To consider and report what changes, if any, in the law relating to the sale of old metals and the control of dealers in old metals are practicable and desirable.
