HC Deb 20 January 1971 vol 809 cc305-6W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, before requiring a nationalised industry or corporation to divest itself of a profitable activity or activities, he will reduce the financial target for the industry or corporation in question.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

It is customary to review the financial objective of a nationalised industry when there is a significant change in the industry's circumstances.
