HC Deb 01 December 1969 vol 792 c185W
47. Mr. Ridley

asked the Minister of Technology when the Industrial Reorganisation Corporation will divest itself of its equity shares in George Kent Limited.

Dr. Ernest A. Davies

The Corporation made it clear in the statement they issued when George Kent Limited acquired Cambridge Instruments that they intended to dispose of their shareholding when the benefits of the merger had been realised.
