99. Mr. Michael Foot

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what consultations he has had with the British Steel Corporation about the effects on the steel industry of the withdrawal of investment grants; and what alternative plans he has prepared to assist the investment programme of the steel industry.

Sir J. Eden

The B.S.C.'s next annual investment programme is shortly to be submitted for our consideration. The Corporation is eligible for investment incentives on the same basis as private industry.
