HC Deb 20 November 1972 vol 846 c290W
Mr. Strang

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he proposes to postpone the adoption of the basing point pricing system by the British Steel Corporation as a result of the Government's overall policy towards prices; and when it will come into force.

Mr. Tom Boardman

We are considering this in the light of the standstill on prices.
