§ Mr. FlanneryTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what estimate he has made of the likely consequences for the United Kingdom steel industry of recent European Economic Community decisions on steel.
§ Mr. AtkinsNo decisions have yet been taken on the future EC steel regime. The Commission's proposals were considered by the Industry Council on 21 September. Following the Council, "three wise men" were appointed to advise on how guarantees of restructuring adequate to ensure the future viability of the EC steel industry could be obtained. Further consideration will take place at an Industry Council on 8 December.
