HC Deb 17 July 1986 vol 101 c607W
19. Mr. Waller

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, pursuant to the answer of 22 May, Official Report, column 306, he will make it his policy to commission, at an appropriate future date, a further survey of the incidence of personal share ownership to take account of the impact of the proposed personal equity plan provisions contained in the Finance Bill; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Norman Lamont

I expect further survey work on share ownership to be carried out next year, possibly as part of the General Household Survey.

22. Mr. Yeo

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received on his Budget proposals for personal equity plans.

Mr. Norman Lamont

My right hon. Friend's personal equity plan proposals have been widely welcomed.

43. Mr. Portillo

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received concerning the proportion of the population who are share owners.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The Government's efforts to promote wider share ownership have attracted strong support, not least from those who have bought shares in privatised companies and in the companies where they work.
