HC Deb 02 December 1974 vol 882 c319W
29. Mr. Guy Barnett

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what control he proposes to exercise over the investment activities of Finance for Industry in line with the objectives set out in the White Paper "Regeneration of British Industry" (Command Paper No. 5710).

Mr. Dell

Finance for Industry Limited is a private sector company and its investment policy is a matter for its own commercial judgment. The expansion of Finance for Industry's activities in no way pre-empts decisions which the Government may take in the context of its proposals for the regeneration of British industry.
