Notes: Includes, as an appendix, the following position paper (indexed separately):  - Dickinson, S.B., May 1953. The present situation and the future development of the iron and steel industry in Australia.   During the post-Second World War years the growth of Australia's steel production capacity did not keep pace with its national growth. In 1940 the total capacity of the Broken Hill Proprietary Company's two steel works at Newcastle and Port Kembla was 1,691,000 tons; in 1950, 1,880,000 tons: an increase of only 189,000 tons or 1 per cent per annum over a 10-year period. During this period Australia's manufacturing industries increased their output by seven hundred per cent, a higher percentage increase than in any other British Commonwealth country. The current expansion programme proposed by BHP, from 1,926,000 tons in 1952 to 2,276,000 tons in 1955, to yield 350,000 tons of ingot steel, has commenced too late. The inadequacy of steelmaking capacity in Australia can only be rectified by the establishment of 2,000,000 tons of additional capacity. As a first stage in expanding local steel production capacity, it is recommended that a completely integrated steel works, with a capacity of 750,000 to 1,000,000 ingot tons, be built in South Australia. In the three years 1949-50, 1950-51, and 1951-52, Australia imported the equivalent of 762,000, 1,119,000 and 1,138,000 tons of ingot steel at prices up to 100 per cent above those asked for Australian steel. These imports do not include steel that was imported as fabricated products, such as buildings, factory plant, houses, etc. The total premiums that were paid as a consequence of the shortage of Australian manufactured steel would have more than financed such a new steel works of 1,000,000 tons capacity.
