Major de Valera
Apart from price control in the case of scrap lead and non-ferrous scrap metals, there is no control over the disposal and sale of lead or other non-ferrous metals (as scrap or otherwise) as far as internal sales are concerned. External sales are subject to export licensing control. The price of scrap lead is controlled by specific price Order and the price of non-ferrous scrap metals is controlled under the Prices and Charges (Standstill) Order.
