HC Deb 22 June 1979 vol 968 cc720-1W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what interest the British Steel Corporation has in the manufacture of umbrellas; what profit or loss was made in the operations in the latest year for which figures are available; and what plans he has to sell the interest to the private sector.

Mr. Michael Marshall

None. The subsidiary of BSC—Samuel Fox, which is now BSC Stocksbridge—sold its interests in umbrellas in 1970.
