HC Deb 24 July 1972 vol 841 c212W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will give, for the longest and most convenient stated period of time, details of contracts or moneys supplied by his Department to any of the firms controlled by, or in which there was an interest held directly or indirectly by, Mr. Dan Smith and Mr. George Pottinger whilst in receipt of state funds.

Mr. John Davies

No contracts have been given or moneys supplied by my Department to any companies which are known to my Department to be controlled by Mr. Dan Smith. I have no means of identifying all the companies in which either Mr. Smith or Mr. Pottinger may have an interest.
