N2 - A summary is given of some recent conclusions by the authors and others on the nature of the metal-insulator transition in Si: P, particularly in the light of recent observations by Thomas and co-workers. It is maintained that in uncompensated semiconductors the transition is first order, and that work on compensated materials at very low temperatures is needed to find out if a 'minimum metallic conductivity' exists.
