HC Deb 17 July 1969 vol 787 c194W
Mr. Eddie Griffiths

asked the Minister of Power if he will authorise the British Steel Corporation to increase the price of alloy and stainless steels produced from nickel bought on the free market; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mason

I am discussing this with the Corporation.

Mr. Lawler

asked the Minister of Power what action he has taken concerning the case reported to him by the hon. Member for Birmingham, Ladywood in which a British order in the dollar-earning markets is threatened by the increase of 28 per cent. in the price of Corten A steel; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeson

This case is special to one consumer and I am asking the Chairman of the British Steel Corporation to write to the hon. Member about it.
