HC Deb 14 June 1971 vol 819 cc4-5W
45. Sir G. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will now make a further statement on the Government's policy towards the British Steel Corporation.

Mr. John Davies

I hope to make a further statement shortly.

Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry from information available to him from international sources, if he will list the individual steel companies and steel plants in Europe, including Great Britain, respectively, which have a capacity of over 1 million tons, stating annual production capacity, capital employed, persons employed, and location in each case.

Mr. Ridley

This information is not readily available in the form asked for, but I have arranged for a copy of "Iron and Steel Works of the World" to be placed in the House of Commons Library.
