	In March 1967 the ‘Iron and Steel Act’ brought into public ownership about 90% of British Steelmaking. The country's non integrated steelmaking and re-rolling companies, including half of the specialised steel production facilities were left in the private sector with a number of small companies. In July of that year BSC (British Steel Corporation) was formed from the UK's 14 main steel producing companies. This enabled the reshaping of a vital industry after years of insufficient capital investment. In the 1970’s the Government approved a 10 year development strategy with expenditure of Ł3,000 million from 1973 onwards, the objective of which was to convert BSC from a large number of small scale works using largely obsolete equipment, to a far more compact organisation with highly competitive plant. Steelmaking was to be concentrated in five main areas: South Wales, Sheffield, Scunthorpe, Teesside and Scotland.
