HC Deb 13 July 1976 vol 915 c164W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if there are any manufacturers in the United Kingdom who are in a position to produce steel of the correct specification for the steel drums in the SGHWR programme.

Mr. Benn

At present, no United Kingdom manufacturer has the capability to provide the steel plate required for the steam drums of the SGHWR. However, the British Steel Corporation is carrying out improvements to its Dalzell plate mill, which would put it in a position to provide this material in the future.
