HC Deb 20 July 1981 vol 9 c16W
40. Mr. Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for Industry when he expects to complete his conversations with interested bodies on the implementation of the Finniston report.

Mr. Michael Marshall

Our consultations are now substantially complete. As my right hon. Friend told the hon. Member for Dunfermline (Mr. Douglas) recently, he hopes to make an announcement on the engineering council before the summer recess.
