HC Deb 16 February 1976 vol 905 cc511-2W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Ormskirk, Official Report, column 451, 2nd February 1976, he will indicate the extra profits that would accrue to the Government by the renationalisation of those industries restored to the private sector.

Mr. Joel Barnett
