HC Deb 16 June 1948 vol 452 c62W
Mr. Gallacher

asked the Minister of Supply what decision has been reached on the question of the Clyde Estuary site for an integrated steel plant or what is the reason for the delay; and when he expects a decision will be made.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

No decision has yet been reached. The long-term plans for the future of the steel industry in Scotland may have far-reaching effects and the thorough examination of the various proposals at present in progress necessarily takes some time.
