HC Deb 23 May 1980 vol 985 c472W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what proposals he has to increase the efficiency of the nationalised industries for which he is responsible.

Mr. Michael Marshall

It is for the management of the industries themselves to determine how best to increase the efficiency of their operation. The Government's aim is to secure the best management available and to create the right environment by setting them a firm framework of financial disciplines and strengthening the operation of market forces where these are lacking.
