HC Deb 13 February 1958 vol 582 c71W
60. Mr. Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give the amount of currency and revenue lost to Her Majesty's Treasury through the sale of Trinidad Leasehold Petroleum Company to the United States, from the date of the sale to the latest stated date.

Mr. Simon

No. Any calculation of losses to be set against the very considerable gains would be entirely hypothetical.
