Mr. Teddy Taylor
asked the Prime Minister if she will set out the responsibilities of the Secretary of State for Industry and the Secretary of State for Trade relating to trade in steel and the terms of such trade.
The Prime Minister
Matters concerning trade in steel within the European Coal and Steel Community are the responsibility of the Secretary of State for Industry. Matters concerning trade in steel with countries that are not members of the EEC are the responsibility of the Secretary of State for Trade, although the Secretary of State for Industry has an interest in the effects of such trade on the United Kingdom steel industry.
