HC Deb 01 February 1979 vol 961 c542W
24. Sir Geoffrey de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what are his plans to assist employment in the steel industry in Corby, Northants.

Mr. Les Huckfield

As my right hon. Friend the Minister of State informed the right hon. Member on 16 January, the Government's steel policy remains as set out in Cmnd 7149. I understand that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment has just received a copy of the employment study by Coopers and Lybrand which was commissioned locally and this will be considered.
