HC Deb 22 July 1987 vol 120 c259W
37. Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the future of Ravenscraig steelworks.

Mr. Lang

Ravenscraig's assured operation up to at least August 1988 is part of the strategy for the British Steel Corporation agreed in 1985. The future of Ravenscraig cannot be considered in isolation from the determination of future strategy for BSC as a whole, and it is too early to reach decisions on this.
