§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Industry why he will not cause an investigation to be made to ascertain to what extent British companies, industries and property are owned and controlled by foreign persons and 497W organisations; and why he will not publish the results of such investigations.
§ Mr. CryerAs I indicated in my previous answer on 11th July 1978—[Vol. 953, c. 501–2]—some of this information is already published. If my hon. Friend will indicate the areas of specific supplementary information he feels it is necessary to obtain and publish, the suggestion will be considered.
