HC Deb 23 July 1979 vol 971 c10W
52. Miss Boothroyd

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what plans he has for a reorganisation of the iron foundry industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Marshall

None. It is for the industry itself to plan its own future. However, the existing scheme, under section 8 of the Industry Act, aimed at assisting foundries with their modernisation projects, will be allowed to run its course.
