Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Trade and Industry – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 1 May 1991.
My right hon. Friend is considering his reply to the Select Committee, and will give that reply by 14 May, which is the deadline for it. There are two matters that are specifically for his consideration, and he will deal with them when he produces his full and considered response.
I cannot answer for the chairman of British Steel in regard to the evidence that he gave the Select Committee; that must be taken up with him. If the hon. Gentleman has any questions for the Secretary of State for Scotland, I suggest that Scottish Question Time would be a better opportunity for him than Trade and Industry Questions.
