§ Mr. Harry BarnesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the recent investigations into the operation of the Derbyshire county council pension fund by the stock exchange and the Takeover Panel.
§ Mr. Heathcoat-Amory[holding answer 14 November 1989]: This is a matter for the stock exchange and the Takeover Panel. I understand that the latter has stated that it has found no evidence of any breach of the code on the part of either Miss World or Derbyshire county council arising from any connection between them and, accordingly, that it does not intend to take the matter further.
