HC Deb 18 November 1946 vol 430 c38W
113. Mr. Mikardo

asked the Minister of Supply how many of the proposals for development in the steel industry submitted to the Steel Control Board have been sanctioned and how many refused; and how many in each of these categories fall within the recommendations of the B.I.S.F. Report and how many outside them.

Mr. Wilmot

Approval has been given to 51 schemes included in the Federation plan and to 58 smaller schemes not included in the plan. No major schemes, whether included or not in the plan, have been rejected, although in certain cases companies have been asked to defer their proposals or to reconsider the siting proposed for the developments in question.
