§ 118. Mr. Shortasked the Paymaster-General what was the annual rate of steel production during February, 1957, and February, 1958, respectively; and what was the reason for the change.
§ Sir I. HorobinThe annual rates of crude steel production during February, 1957, and February, 1958, were 22,470,000 tons and 22,228,000 tons respectively. The demand for steel in the export market and in some sectors of British manufacturing industry has eased a little.
