§ 47. Mrs. Mannasked the Prime Minister if, in taking into consideration economic and other questions regarding the siting of the steel strip mill, he will also have regard to strategic defence and dispersal, so that such a large capital investment shall not be placed in close proximity to others of a similar character.
§ The Prime MinisterHer Majesty's Government are taking every relevant consideration into account.
§ Mrs. MannWill the Prime Minister have some regard for the people of Wales and not expose them to this danger by having four steel strip mills all in their little territory? Will he remember that we in Scotland are quite willing to take the risk of having at least one?
§ The Prime MinisterI am very grateful for that disinterested advice.
§ Mr. WoodburnMay we have the right hon. Gentleman's pledge that all circumstances will be taken into account, not merely the economic ones, but the social and other factors as well?
§ The Prime MinisterYes, Sir, every relevant consideration.
