Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now publish the name of the company to which he referred at column 1490 of the Official Report of 26 July; if he will withdraw the allegation he made concerning the company and its relations with the Greater London Enterprise Board; and if he will make a statement.

The name of the company concerned must remain a matter of confidence until its consent to reveal it has been obtained. We have been unable to obtain its consent.
