HC Deb 19 October 1972 vol 843 c137W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether it is the intention of the Government to invite the British Steel Corporation to subscribe to the 5 per cent. ceiling on prices or whether the corporation will be permitted a free hand pursuant to the Treaties of Paris.

Mr. Emery

I am sure that the British Steel Corporation itself will want to make as full a contribution as is consistent with our Treaty obligations to a policy of price restraint accepted by the rest of industry.
