HC Deb 26 January 1971 vol 810 cc82-3W
Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in view of the proposed increases in the price of steel by the British Steel Corporation, he will introduce a Bill to dissolve the British Steel Corporation.

Mr. Ridley

No. The increase in fixed forward prices of steel for delivery in future years is a commercial matter between the Corporation and its customers, subject to any representations which the Iron and Steel Consumer Council may make.
