asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many employees in the British Steel Corporation have qualified for removal expenses and disturbance allowances since January 1971 to the latest available date ; what is the average distance on removals between locations ; and what is the total cost to the British Steel Corporation.

This is a day-today matter relating to the administration of the British Steel Corporation's employment and incomes security agreement. I am accordingly asking the chairman to write to the hon. Member.
