HC Deb 18 April 1956 vol 551 cc75-6W
72. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he will make a statement on progress made with the new development of oxygen-blown basic converter steel for ship-building purposes.

Mr. Wingfield Digby

Oxygen-blown basic converter steel is not produced in this country as yet, but British steel makers are in touch with the development of the process and experiments are being carried out.
