BRITISH STEEL CORPORATION

HC Deb 28 April 1975 vol 891 cc29-30

Mr. Ridley

I beg to ask leave to move the Adjournment of the House under Standing Order No. 9 for a specific and important matter that should be given urgent consideration, namely,

"the attempt of the Secretary of State for Industry to interfere with the commercial freedom of the British Steel Corporation as enshrined by statute and the right of its chairman to free speech."

Mr. Speaker

Order. The hon. Member appreciates that he is out of order. If he wished to raise that matter, he should have given me notice by 12 o'clock today. That is clearly laid down in the Standing Order.
