§ Mr. George Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the holding of the Crown Agents and their wholly owned subsidiaries in First National Finance Corporation.
§ Mr. WoodThe Crown Agents recently announced that they had a shareholding in First National Finance Corporation through their wholly-owned subsidiary Four Millbank Investments Limited. This amounted to about 6 per cent. of the ordinary stock, as well as a further 2½ per cent. on behalf of various of their principals. I understand that this is still the situation. In addition they have a holding of warrants and loan stock.
