HC Deb 29 November 1967 vol 755 c125W
110. Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to introduce publicly-owned industries in Wales, bearing in mind the need to make use of sheet steel produced locally for manufacturing purposes, and thereby creating a more balanced and stable economic structure.

Mr. Darling

We have no such plans at present. We are prepared to use our powers under the Local Employment Acts and the Industrial Development Act to assist suitable projects.
