HC Deb 20 June 1974 vol 875 c242W
Mr. Kenneth Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what evidence he has received that British steel, nominally intended for export, is in fact turned round at the ports to be sold to British customers as an import at a surcharged price.

Mr. Meacher

Allegations of this practise have been difficult to substantiate, and I have not seen any evidence to suggest that the practise has occurred to any significant extent. I should be happy to have investigated any evidence the hon. Member may have.
