Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether his Department's inspectors in the Rolls-Royce case will include in their investigations affairs of the company and its subsidiaries which took place in the United States of America under United States law.

Mr. Ridley

The inspectors investigating the affairs of Rolls-Royce Limited may inquire into the affairs of subsidiary companies which are or have at any time been carrying on business in the United Kingdom insofar as they are relevant to the subject of this inquiry.
