HC Deb 20 January 1987 vol 108 c460W
Mr. Millan

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the amount of the net borrowings of Rolls-Royce plc at 31 December 1986 which the Government intend to subscribe in new ordinary shares as indicated in his answer to the hon. Member for Hastings and Rye (Mr. Warren) on 18 December 1986, Official Report, columns 607–8.

Mr. John Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if, pursuant to his answer of 18 December, Official Report, column 608, he will give the net borrowings of Rolls-Royce as at 31 December 1986.

Mr. Pattie

The figure concerned will not be available until the company's results have been audited and then approved by the directors. This is unlikely to be before the middle of March.
