HC Deb 26 July 1971 vol 822 cc16-7W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what was the amount invested in the iron and steel industry of the United Kingdom in each year from 1967 to 1971, expressed in dollars and excluding investment, designed to provide directly for steel castings, hot and cold drawn tubes, cold colled strip, bright bars, wheels and axles and steel forgings, excluding drop forgings, respectively.

Mr. Ridley

The total amounts invested annually in fixed assets by the iron and steel industry of the United Kingdom are given in "National Income and Expenditure" published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office. It is not possible to apportion these totals among the finished steels products to which the investment is directed.
