§ Mr. MoyleNo, for the reasons mentioned in my answer to my hon. Friend52W on 17th January—[Vol. 942, c. 167–8]—and because my Department retains no funds earmarked for such a purpose.
§ Mr. Hoyleasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what considerations he had regard to in concluding that a directive to the National Enterprise Board to dispose of the private health interests in the United Kingdom of Allied Investments was unnecessary.
