Mr. Eddie Griffithsasked the Minister of Technology what steps he is taking to assist the steel castings industry to meet demands placed upon it in the next few years.
§ Mr. Harold LeverI am in close touch with the steel castings industry and am examining with it what might be done within the range of existing powers to grant assistance.
In addition, the I.R.C. has been asked to develop further the contacts which it has with many firms in the industry, to see if it can be of any further help.
The I.R.C. has already assisted companies in the industry and can help in many different ways. I hope firms will continue to approach it.
