HC Deb 14 December 1981 vol 15 c20W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what is the current position of Dorman Long Ltd.; and whether a change in the stake of the British Steel Corporation is contemplated.

Mr. Wakeham

Redpath Dorman Long Limited is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the British Steel Corporation. I understand that the BSC wishes to reduce its interests in RDL, in line with the corporation's policy for reducing its involvement in activities which are not part of its main-line iron and steelmaking businesses.
