HC Deb 07 May 1971 vol 816 c457W
Mr. Raphael Tuck

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether Pentric Industries of Watford will be among the 20 per cent. of the users and makers of steel to be hived off to private enterprise.

Mr. Ridley

I can add nothing to my right hon. Friend's statement of the 27th April, except that he did not say that "20 per cent. of the uses and services of steel" would be hived off. Any question about the future of any individual works is for the Corporation within the lines of policy my right hon. Friend announced.
