§ 60 and 61. Mr. G. Thomasasked the President of the Board of Trade (1) what report he has received from the Independent Television Authority concerning the sale of deferred shares by the Granada Television Network Limited; and whether he will make a statement;
(2) whether he is aware of the plans of the Granada Television Network Limited to issue 100,000 shilling deferred shares at par to Messrs. S. and C. Bernstein; and what plans he has for holding an inquiry into the details of this agreement.
§ Mr. J. RodgersI have not been approached in this matter, and Press reports suggest that the shareholders who expressed criticism are not now seeking Board of Trade intervention.
