HC Deb 11 December 1980 vol 995 c442W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Industry how the expenditure of £65 million on the Hunterston direct reduction iron plant will be redeemed.

Mr. Michael Marshall

This is a matter for the corporation, but I understand that the capital expenditure on the Hunterston direct reduction plant has been written off, as part of the review of the value of the corporation's fixed assets, in the BSC accounts for the year ending 29 March 1980.
