HC Deb 19 April 1973 vol 855 cc211-2W
Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations have been made by the EEC Directorate for the Environment and Consumer Affairs to the Commission in regard to the effect on consumers of the increase in steel prices in the EEC.

Mr. Tom Boardman

I cannot answer for matters which are internal to the Commission but as far as Her Majesty's Government are concerned the Commission is fully aware of the importance we attach to the need to combat inflation in relation to steel and other prices.
