HC Deb 01 June 1965 vol 713 c183W
36. Sir D. Renton

asked the Minister of Technology whether, in order to remove uncertainty, he will give an undertaking that he does not intend to introduce proposals to take over, nationalise, or bring into public ownership the machine tool industry or any part of it, and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Cousins

I hope to make a statement shortly on my proposals for the machine tool industry.
