HC Deb 17 July 1972 vol 841 c8W
42. Mr. Baxter

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what estimate he has made of the effect on Scottish industry of the steel industry's decision to locate its basing points in England.

Mr. Tom Boardman

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Bebington (Mr. Cockeram) on 4th May. The British Steel Corporation has nominated Glasgow as one of its basing points for a large number of its major products. The private sector's proposals are not yet known.—[Vol. 836, c.205–6.]
