§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will publish comparative tables showing the size of nationalised undertakings in the United Kingdom and the six original members of the European Economic Community, giving the turnover in each case and the numbers employed.
§ Mr. EmeryThe data is not readily available in respect of the six members. Assuming that my hon. Friend primarily wishes to compare nationalised undertakings in the United Kingdom with their244W nearest Continental counterparts, I will see whether the data can be compiled without disproportionate cost. If this information can be obtained, I will inform my hon. Friend.
