HC Deb 19 February 1951 vol 484 c145W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Supply if he will give an assurance that steel production figures will continue to be published on the same basis as heretofore.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

Statistical returns on the activities of the publicly-owned companies are primarily a matter for the Iron and Steel Corporation of Great Britain, and I understand that arrangements for future comprehensive returns are at present being considered. I have no doubt that adequate production figures will continue to be published.
