HC Deb 25 May 1973 vol 857 c213W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he is satisfied that supplies of steel are adequate to meet the future demands of the structural engineering industry.

Mr. Emery

The British Steel Corporation informs me that, following labour troubles, production of structural steel is at present insufficient to satisfy the very high level of orders. However, plans have been made by the Corporation to provide capacity to meet long-term demand.
