HC Deb 27 October 1967 vol 751 c594W
Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Minister of Power if he will list the iron and steel products for which he has a statutory obligation to publish prices under the Iron and Steel Act 1967 and state those categories of products for which he has still to publish prices.

Mr. Marsh

The British Steel Corporation, not the Minister of Power, are under a statutory obligation to publish, from time to time and in the form they consider appropriate, the prices which should normally be charged in the United Kingdom by the nationalised steel industry for iron and steel products other than castings and forgings. They have already done so for all such products except iron ore, sales of which outside the public sector are minimal, and certain highly specialised products production of which is very small. Copies of the Corporation's price lists have been placed in the library of the House of Commons.
