HC Deb 17 July 1972 vol 841 c12W
56. Mr. Gay Barnett

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proposals he has, in view of the present threat of redundancies in the industry, to increase the number of Government contracts using the products of the British Steel Corporation.

Mr. Tom Boardman

None, but the measures we have already taken to promote a faster rate of economic growth, including increased public purchasing, will stimulate the demand for steel.
