HC Deb 13 February 2001 vol 363 cc81-2W
Mr. MacShane

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will examine the anti-competition implications of the decision of Corns not to sell its Llanwern plant to a competitor. [149358]

Mr. Byers

Responsibility for investigating any possible breach of competition law by Corns would be a matter for the competition authorities, the European Commission and the Director General of Fair Trading. I have drawn their attention to my hon. Friend's question.
