HC Deb 18 November 1974 vol 881 c294W
34. Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what is the latest position in regard to the supply of scrap for the steel industry in South Yorkshire.

Mr. Meacher

The British Steel Corporation and the British Independent Steel Producers Association both advise me that scrap supplies in South Yorkshire and elsewhere are not now a constraint on overall steel production, although not all supplies meet optimum quality requirements.
