§ 90. Mr. Edelmanasked the Minister of Supply whether he will describe the arrangements with the Iron and Steel Federation for the general discharge of their duties, including the importation of iron ore.
§ Mr. G. R. StraussThe Federation has formally recognised the Iron and Steel Corporation's responsibilities for the publicly-owned iron and steel industry. The detailed arrangements provide for close collaboration between the Corporation and Federation on all matters of interest to the publicly-owned companies. In particular, the Corporation will be represented on various policy committees and on the boards of the British Iron and Steel Corporation, Limited, and its subsidiaries, one of which handles imports of iron ore. The Corporation's approval will have to be obtained in respect of various financial aspects of common service activities.
18WThe Corporation assure me that these arrangements should enable them to discharge their responsibilities under the Iron and Steel Act.
