HC Deb 19 November 1925 vol 188 c599W
Sir F. WISE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the advisability of recommending the Government to sell their holding in the Anglo-Persian Oil Company and at the same time altering the articles of association of the company with a view to the Government retaining such control as might be necessary against the possibility of foreign shareholding being in the majority?

Mr. CHURCHILL

His Majesty's Government have, as has already been stated, no intention of selling their holding in the Anglo-Persian Oil Co.
