HC Deb 19 March 1979 vol 964 c429W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he expects the National Enterprise Board to pay a dividend on its public dividend capital during 1978–79 or 1979–80; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Les Huckfield

So far as 1978 is concerned, my right hon. Friend expects to receive proposals shortly from the NEB in accordance with paragraph 5(3) of schedule 2 to the Industry Act 1975.
