HC Deb 27 June 1950 vol 476 c200W
Mr. J. Morrison

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will provide a list of Government holdings and their market value in joint stock companies.

Sir S. Cripps

Information on the Suez Canal and Anglo-Iranian Oil Company Holdings will be found in the list of estimated assets on page 60 of the Finance Accounts, 1948–49. But a comprehensive list of all holdings is not readily available, and to collect it would involve more time and labour than would be justified by the result.
