Wilson Plan For Steel Nationalization Moves Forward
London AP reports Prime Minister Harold Wilson announced a government plan to nationalize 14 major steel firms that control about 90 percent of Britain’s iron and steel and employ 70 percent of the industry’s workers. The white paper, debating next week, outlines intent but not legislation, risking a Commons vote that could threaten the Labour government if abstentions or opposition sway the outcome. The proposal would transfer stock to a government owned National Steel Corp.
