HC Deb 28 June 1973 vol 858 cc402-3W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many steel plants in the United Kingdom and the Community are equipped to operate continuous casting; and if he will identify the location of the plants and companies involved.

Mr. Emery

Six in the United Kingdom—the BSC plants at Barrow, Shelton, Scunthorpe, Lackenby and Panteg, and the Sheerness Steel Company's plant at Sheerness. In the rest of the Community there were about 65 steelworks with continuous casting in 1972, including 45 in Italy, 18 in the Federal Republic of Germany, one in France and one in Belgium.
