HC Deb 28 March 1969 vol 780 cc376-7W
Mr. Eddie Griffiths

asked the Minister of Power whether he will now give details of the British Steel Corporation's corporate plan for the steel industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mason

I am discussing the Corporation's planning work with them and hope to say more about it during the debates on the forthcoming Bill dealing with steel. The Corporation will also be publishing a brochure, indicating the broad lines on which they are working. Meanwhile, I would refer my hon. Friend to Chapter 4 of their Annual Report for 1967–68.
