HC Deb 12 December 1949 vol 470 cc224-5W
85. Mr. Erroll

asked the Economic Secretary to the Treasury, in view of the need for the more efficient utilisation of steel in this country, what consultations he has had with all the nationalised industries which are large users of steel, with a view to ensuring that they should specify only the most efficient steel and methods of use for their various purposes

Mr. Jay

The Steel Economy Committee, which consists partly of officials and partly of members from industry, has had consultations with the nationalised industries as well as with representatives of other large steel using interests with a view to ensuring the objects set out in the hon. Members Question. I am informed that the Committee hopes shortly to make recommendations for securing further advances.
