§ 92. Mr. Chetwyndasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the hold-up in the movement of steel from Tees-side; and whether he will take immediate steps to expedite delivery and present dislocation in the steel industry.
§ Mr. CallaghanYes. The railways have moved more steel during past weeks, but even so have not quite kept pace with the increase in production. They are giving special attention to clearing off stocks at Tees-side, and meantime I repeat my appeal to all those holding wagons, especially steel carrying wagons, to release them so that the rising tide of production is not hindered.
