HC Deb 19 July 1976 vol 915 c370W
25. Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he has received the NEDC report on the iron and steel industry; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Les Huckfield

The Iron and Steel Sector Working Group submitted a valuable report to the NEDC last month. This was taken into account in the council's discussions on the first round of industrial strategy studies on 7th July. My right hon. Friend is considering the recommendations which fall to Government. The response from management and unions in the coming months will also be of the greatest importance.
