§ Mr. Gryllsasked the Secretary of State for Industry when he expects to receive the accounts and statement of account from the National Enterprise Board for its financial year ended 31st December 1976; when he expects them to be published; and if he will make a statement when they are published.
§ Mr. Les HuckfieldI understand they will be sent to my right hon. Friend next week, and published about a fortnight later. My right hon. Friend does not envisage making a statement. He will, of course, lay the accounts and statement before Parliament, as the Industry Act 1975 requires.
