HC Deb 20 May 1976 vol 911 c707W
Mr Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what was the price paid by the Government for the additional 6,293 50p ordinary shares in British Leyland.

Mr. Les Huckfield

£6,293. These shares were purchased as a result of the Secretary of State's offer to all BLMC shareholders, although the administrative procedures were slightly delayed in these cases. The price paid for all shares was £1 per new share of 50p nominal value, equivalent to 10p per old share.
