HC Deb 10 February 1971 vol 811 cc196-7W
Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will confer with the Secretary of State for the Environment about the feasibility of offering holders of War Loan shares in Thomas Cook & Son Limited, and other state undertakings which are to be sold back to the private sector, in lieu thereof.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

No. I am afraid that this proposal would not be practicable.
