Major BARNESasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the price at which coal is supplied for the 1838W production of steel, he will fix a maximum price for steel used in this country?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI see no reason for differentiating between steel and all the other commodities whose cost of production is affected by the price of coal, and I am unable to recommend that His Majesty's Government should engage in a policy of general price fixation.
