Will my hon. Friend remember and remind his right hon. Friend the Secretary of State that he is no longer the owner of British Steel and that British Steel's owners are now the many thousands of people who work in that company, as well as the many thousands of small and, no doubt, larger shareholders around the country? Does he agree that British Steel has been successful because politicans have not interfered in it during the past few years, and will he—as I am sure that he will—resist any temptation to do so in the future?
