Mr. Amory:
I am afraid that it is very difficult to say. This is an estimate of what we believe will be about the take-up of steel in the public investment projects which will be carried out during the present year. I would say that the amount would be somewhat above last year's. The total of the programme is considerably in excess, of course, but I find it difficult to compute exactly the component of steel in the projects.
