"The contractors will also be responsible for clearing the site after all the valuable material has been removed," Sir Henry Buckland, general manager of the Palace said.

"If 15,000 tons of iron are recovered we shall realise between £40,000 and £50,000,"

A voluntary clause in Messrs. Ward's tender promises not to export any of the debris.

An official of Messrs. Ward told a News) Chronicle representative.

"We made this voluntary offer to keep the scrap in this country, because there is a shortage.

"The debris is made up of scrap iron, and steel and cast iron-00 per cent. of it is cast iron.

"There is a shortage of plg iron at present. This is due to the world shortage of raw materials.
