Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that it is not important only to provide jobs in the North-East but also to provide them quickly; that many orders for building steel are holding up the development of factories—[HON. MEMBERS: "Where?"] I am asking the Minister if he is aware that orders placed for steel by the end of June will not be ready for delivery until well into September, and I am telling him that this means moving into the winter months for the building trade, which curtails the amount of building time from 12 months to 9 months and is a factor which his Department should be looking into at this stage.
