HC Deb 05 March 1968 vol 760 c53W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Minister of Power if he will make a statement on the organisational structure of the iron and steel industry with particular reference to the proposals for four regional groups.

Mr. Marsh

I would refer my hon. Friend to the British Steel Corporation's first Report on Organisation (Cmnd. 3362). The Corporation will submit a further report to me as soon as practicable.

Mr. Eadie

asked the Minister of Power if he will direct the British Steel Corporation to consult fully with the Iron and Steel Trade Union Consultative Committee before finalising decisions on structure.

Mr. Marsh

The Iron and Steel Act, 1967 (Section 4(2)) requires the Corporation to consult the appropriate representative organisations before reaching conclusions on the organisation of the industry.
