HC Deb 19 March 1964 vol 691 c222W
Mr. O'Malley

asked the Minister of Power when the joint statistics committee of the Steel Board and the Federation last met; and if he will, in view of the variations in the presentation of the steel industry's monthly and annual statistics, ask the Steel Board to ensure that the production, delivery and trade statistics are arranged on the same basis as United Nations and European Coal and Steel Community statistics, or use his power under the Statistics of Trade Act to ensure that this is done.

Mr. Erroll

The matters in question are primarily the responsibility of the Iron and Steel Board rather than the Minister of Power. I see no reason to interfere.
