As the report has only just been received, it is yet to be decided how it will be properly reported to the House. A written question is one of them. My right hon. Friend will know that the final decision on Corus jobs has not yet been made. Corus has confirmed that the works in Newport that the company plans to close down are far more productive and efficient than its plants in Netherlands and other countries.
Friend makes an important and powerful point.
I think that I am right in saying that he has some years' direct experience of the steel industry. He knows that we have discussed that issue in the House and that further discussions are continuing. He will also be aware that, fortunately, owing to pressure from the Government and others, Corus is now discussing its proposals and plans with the trade unions. I fear that I cannot undertake to find time in the near future for a further special debate on the issue, but my hon. Friend, too, might consider the advantages of Westminster Hall.
