HC Deb 07 February 1972 vol 830 c243W
56. Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proposals for capital investment in the steel industry in Wales have been put to him by the British Steel Corporation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Davies

Of the £265 million (1971 Survey Prices) investment approved for 1972–73, about a third is in Wales and Monmouth. Part is expenditure on projects already announced; the Corporation's intentions as regards possible new projects within the general programme are for it to make public.
