HC Deb 09 December 1971 vol 827 c340W
21. Mr. John Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on his Department's estimates of the effect of the measures announced on 23rd November, 1971, on employment in the Scottish steel industry.

Mr. Bryan

Many of the projects announced in the Government measures to stimulate the economy will lead to an increased demand for steel, and I would expect the Scottish steel industry to share in the benefits this will bring.
