HC Deb 28 April 1936 vol 311 cc721-2
38. Miss WILKINSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the new extensions to iron and steel works on Tees-side have been assisted by the Government; and, if so, whether any similar assistance is to be offered to the proposed steel works at Jarrow?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

No financial assistance has been given by the Government to the iron and steel works referred to in the first part of the question. The second part does not therefore arise.

Mr. GALLACHER

Would the Minister arrange for this iron and steel works to get a large order to provide material for a bridge across the Forth?
