	Unexpected end for British Steel \| Business \| Money \| Telegraph
		Tata's takeover of Corus, which was formed through the merger of British Steel and the Dutch group Hoogovens in 1999, is the latest, and perhaps most surprising, overhaul of Britain's steel industry in the last 40 years.
		British Steel was formed in 1967 by pulling together the UK's 14 main steel producers after Harold Wilson's Labour government brought around 90pc of industry into public ownership.
		British Steel's workforce had shrunk to 130,000 by the end of 1980 compared with 268,500 at the time of Wilson's nationalisation.

		In Scotland, Western Europe's largest hot strip steel mill at Ravenscraig, Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, was closed by British Steel in 1991, leading to huge unemployment in the area.
		British Steel's chairman at one point was Ian MacGregor, who would become famous for his role at British Coal and the UK miners' strike (1984-1985).

	Steel in the new Millennium - 8a - Sectoral Activities
		This level of steel production in the UK means that in European terms, the UK is a medium-sized steel producer, with a similar level of output to that of France, but less than that produced in Italy, and particularly Germany.
		Of the steel produced in the UK in 1996, almost 90% was cast by the continuous casting method, the remainder by ingot casting.
		A notable exception to the general pattern of unionization and union representation in the industry is that of Sheerness Steel, a Canadian-owned electric arc steel producer in the South East of England, which withdrew trade union recognition in 1992, despite opposition from the extant trade unions at the plant (Bacon, 1997).

	BBC News \| Wales \| British Steel denies 'pension fund raid'
		A union claim that British Steel was "raiding" its pension fund to finance a recent merger with a Dutch steel firm has been dismissed as "preposterous" by the company.
		But the claims have brought a firm rebuttal from British Steel - now known along with Hoogovens as the Corus Group - who denied that the company was using pension fund money to finance the merger or give money to shareholders.
		British Steel would have to follow the rules set out in the 1995 Pensions Act before it was allowed to use the surplus to help pay for its merger, according to Opra, the occupational pension fund regulator.

	British Steel -- Monday, Aug. 03, 1925 -- Page 1 -- TIME
		To begin with, British steelmakers face a strongly unionized body of workmen whose wages are already much higher than those of competing German and French workmen; the British steel workers are now agitating a new pension scheme for themselves, the expense of which must result in higher prices for the output of British mills.
		Steel is considered a basic material, and must be had cheap.
		England, true to her free-trade principles, believes in buying the foreign steel when it is cheaper and letting her home manufacturers of steel go hang.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on British Steel [Remaster] - Judas Priest at Epinions.com
		And Judas Priest’s 1980 heavy metal masterpiece British Steel is one of those few metal records that are good enough to appeal to a broader audience than the standard heavy metal music would.
		It’s for that reason that 1980’s British Steel is often thought of as the band’s sell-out record, but it’s also for that reason that British Steel finds the band at a much higher level than at any other point in their already illustrious past.
		As it stands, British Steel is a highly recommended four-star album, no doubt their best - but it could have been a five-star must-have with a little tweaking.

	Judas Priest: British Steel: Classic Albums DVD
		BRITISH STEEL was a milestone release for JUDAS PRIEST, and the intensity and song writing of the group have yet to be matched.
		JUDAS PRIEST: BRITISH STEEL: CLASSIC ALBUMS chronicles the entire development of this seminal album from the creation of the music to the studio masterminds who crafted an album that would opens doors not only for the group, but for the entire Heavy Metal art form itself.
		As JUDAS PRIEST: BRITISH STEEL: CLASSIC ALBUMS is a documentary (and not a live concert), the Dolby Digital mix delivers a sufficient aural experience to deliver the goods.

		Their roots were appropriately in England's industrial heartland, where iron works (and in fact the British Steel company) were part of the landscape.
		British Steel is the name of an iron foundry where Tipton had worked at one time, though Rob and Ian differ in their recollection of who actually penned the name.
		British Steel is indeed a classic album, and this disc gives fans an opportunity to look at its production through the eyes of the band itself.

	UK Steel Association - History
		Problems inevitably arose with the British Steel Corporation because of the uneasy commercial relationship of it being in many cases both supplier to and competitor with the smaller private companies.
		A crucial role of BISPA was to put the smaller steel companies on the map and represent their interests to government and, after 1973 when Britain joined the ECSC and the European Economic Community, to the European Commission and indeed to a wider world most notably the USA during outbreaks of American steel protectionism.
		A core function of the British Iron and Steel Federation was training, but this moved, as a result of legislation in 1964, to a statutory Iron and Steel Industry Training Board, eventually, like nearly all other statutory training bodies, wound up in 1981.

		Though British Steel sounds dated these days, it's also a classic slice of metal, one of the best from a band that defined the genre in the late '70s and early '80s.
		British Steel was my first Judas Priest album, which I bought on casette back in junior high.
		Although "British Steel" is not my all-time favorite from the band (that HAS to go to "Screaming"), I feel it contains a varied mix of music that encompasses what made this band so acssesable and likeable.

	JUDAS PRIEST - British Steel - METAL DREAMS REVIEW
		Their material without Rob Halford is certainly up for debate, but during the early 80s, these guys ruled the metal world.
		British Steel was the follow-up studio album to Hell Bent For Leather (1978), and carried on in the tradition of that album.
		Dave Holland’s simple, but weighty drumming technique didn’t involve the double bass that became so popular in late 80s thrash, and certainly didn’t include the blastbeats that are so popular in today’s death metal.

		This is the album that made Judas Priest into superstars, with volley after volley of fast and catchy songs that were heavy enough to keep the headbangers happy, but slick enough for American radio airplay.
		British Steel begins with one of the fastest and most crushing tracks the band would ever write.
		With British Steel, Judas Priest made an almost perfect commercial-flavoured metal album on only their second attempt, with most of the songs still standing the test of time.

		Overall BRITISH STEEL sounds heavy and BIG enoungh to identify that a whole decade of the same sounding music was to come, it was just a matter of time before it all measured out.
