HC Deb 17 June 1969 vol 785 cc67-8W
Mr. James Hamilton

asked the Minister of Power if details of the British Steel Corporation's proposed product divisions have now been submitted to him for approval; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mason

The Corporation has announced its conclusion that product divisions would be feasible, and it has named four individuals, to take part in further studies, who would be appointed as managing directors of product divisions if, in the event, these are set up. At this stage, however, the corporation has reached no final view about this, and my statutory consent would be needed before any organisational change of this sort could take place. My decision on any proposals made by the B.S.C. would have regard to all the factors involved, including regional ones.
