§ 32. Mr. Iain Macleodasked the Minister of Power what estimates he has made of increased demand on the British steel industry as a result of the import levy; and to what extent it is estimated that the increased demand can be met.
§ Mr. Frederick LeeI am informed by the Iron and Steel Board that the import charge might perhaps increase the home demand upon the industry by an annual rate of the order of ½ million ingot tons. The industry is fully confident of its ability to meet this increased demand provided normal ordering practices are maintained.
