HC Deb 21 December 1972 vol 848 c443W
37. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, for all those cases where direct Government assistance was provided, he will set out the amount of public investment in the major steel plants dealt with separately, and an analysis of the profit and loss on each project year by year from 1948 to the nearest convenient date.

Mr. Tom Boardman

I regret that the information sought by my hon. Friend is either not available or, to the extent that it is, would require a disproportionate amount of effort to collect.
