Iron and Steel Bill (Third Schedule Definitions)

HC Deb 17 December 1952 vol 509 c220W

132 and 133. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Supply (1) to publish a list, in engineering terminology, of the processes which are covered by the word "rolling" in item 5 of the Third Schedule to the Iron and Steel Bill;

(2) to publish a list, in engineering terminology, of the processes which are covered by the word "forging" in item 5 of the Third Schedule to the Iron and Steel Bill.

Mr. Low

As my right hon. Friend informed my hon. Friend last Monday, he is at present engaged in technical consultations as to whether item 5 of the Third Schedule, as at present drawn, may not go somewhat wider than is intended and, if so, how this can best be rectified.
