Sheet Steel Supplies, Luton

HC Deb 09 April 1951 vol 486 cc47-8W

102. Dr. Hill

asked the Minister of Supply whether, in view of the present under-employment and the prospect of unemployment at the Vauxhall Motor factories in Luton as a result of the shortage of sheet steel, he will take urgent steps to ensure an adequate supply of this essential material for these factories at the earliest possible date.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

I regret that there is not likely to be an improvement in the supply of sheet steel until later in the year.
