Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why he approved a 100 per cent. increase in total distributions to shareholders by the Bestwood Company Limited.

Mr. Diamond

The company asked that it might be permitted to restore its dividend to a rate consonant with those paid in earlier years. Consent was given to do so.
