Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will place in the Library copies of the correspondence which led to the appointment of Mr. Ian MacGregor as chairman of the British Steel Corporation together with a copy or copies of the formal agreement or agreement between his Department, the British Steel Corporation, Mr. MacGregor and Lazard Frères.

I have announced the main terms of the appointment, but it is not the practice to publish documents relating to the appointment of individuals in the public sector.
