British Steel is in crisis, as its debts are running high. Conservative industry spokesman Norman Lamont claims the answer is to introduce lay-offs, close uneconomical plants, and cut investment. Welsh Labour MP Roy Hughes says the Government should not panic; the steel industry is a slump and boom industry. Peter Allen reports.
