Since I wrote the previous minute, we have received a coff of a further letter from the teclinical manager of ICI (China) Limited (below). Apart from adding further to the confusior over quantities (I Ogg now speaks of present consumption. of 3200 tonnes p.a. and of a 1981 estimate of 2,300 tp.a. I suspect he is not making sufficiently clear the difference betwee Cartridged slurry explosive and explosive mixed and used on site, but even then the figues don't tally......) this adds little
