HC Deb 17 January 1980 vol 976 c847W

Mr. Gwilym Roberts asked the Secretary of State for Industry what steps he is proposing to take to assist suppliers to the steel industry placed in financial difficulties due to non-payment of accounts during the current strike.

Mr. Michael Marshall

This is a matter for the management of the BSC, but I understand that BSC regional divisions are doing their best to help small suppliers.
