Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the names of all the nationalised industries for which he is the sponsoring Minister, all the subsidiary companies of those nationalised industries and the names of all companies in which his Department, or bodies answerable to his Department, have a majority or minority interest.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I do not sponsor any nationalised industry, nor does my Department, or bodies answerable to it, have a majority or minority interest in any company.
