§ 18. Mr. Errollasked the Minister of Supply if he is now in a position to announce any alterations to the lists, published on 15th and 22nd November, 1948, of subsidiary companies belonging to iron and steel companies named in the Third Schedule to the Iron and Steel Bill.
§ Mr. G. R. StraussIn consequence of Amendments of the Third Schedule to the Iron and Steel Bill, and information which has recently become available to me, there is an appreciable number of amendments to the lists circulated on 15th and 22nd November, 1948. I am sending the hon. Member a revised list showing, according to my present information, the wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries of companies at present 1676 named in the Third Schedule to the Iron and Steel Bill, and I am also arranging for a copy to be placed in the Library of the House.
§ Mr. ErrollIn view of the intense interest in this matter, could the Minister arrange for the list to be released through the Press Association or, if not, for it to be published in HANSARD?
§ Mr. StraussYes, I will look into that. I am reluctant to publish it in HANSARD, for the list is very long and will probably have to be revised again.
§ Mr. ErrollThe right hon. Gentleman could publish the alterations in HANSARD, perhaps?
§ Mr. StraussI will consider that.
