§ Mr. Michael Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Industry what is the estimated cost at March 1978 prices of the British Steel Corporation 10-year development strategy as set out in Command Paper No. 5226 of February 1973.
§ Mr. Les HuckfieldMy right hon. Friend in his statement of 22nd March made clear that the sales opportunities, both at home and overseas, on which the 10-year development strategy of 1973 was based are no longer realistic. Estimates of the kind requested in this Question are therefore not relevant.
