HC Deb 26 July 1966 vol 732 c1438
Q4. Mr. Kenneth Lewis

asked the Prime Minister whether he will appoint a Minister of State with special responsibility for the steel industry.

The Prime Minister

No, Sir.

Mr. Lewis

Would it not be better for the country, and for the £, if we had a Minister who was prepared to co-operate with the steel industry rather than to nationalise it?

The Prime Minister

I thought that this matter was very fully debated yesterday, and I thought, impartially and objectively, that the victory on the argument was as decisive as the victory on the vote.
