HC Deb 04 December 1979 vol 975 c242
Dr. Bray

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Another ministerial statement is to follow, but have you yet had an approach from the Secretary of State for Industry to make a statement about the steel industry? There have been further reports in the press today about the statements being made to steel workers and we have had the threat of a national strike. It seems as if the House of Commons is the one body in the country to which no statement is to be made this week about the dire state of the industry.

Mr. Speaker

I have had no such approach.
