Privitisation in 1967?

[edit]

The article says "overseeing the privatisation of the steel industry in 1967", but cites no source for that. That doesn't make any sense - the British steel industry was nationalised in 1949, denationalised in 1952, and renationalised in 1967, forming British Steel (1967–1999). So it certainly wasn't privatised then - the exact opposite. And we don't have any source showing what role Judge played in that. As it's so clearly the opposite of facts established, and sourced, in the British Steel (1967–1999) article, I've removed it. We should describe what involvement Judge had in all the topsy-turvy, but we need reliable sources for that. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 10:16, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I should note that the text was there from the article's creation in 2005, so it's not a subsequent error. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 10:19, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
