HC Deb 26 June 1978 vol 952 cc445-6W
Mr. Lee

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many civil servants of every grade, are currently engaged in the imposition and enforcement of Common Market agricultural produce levies; and what is the estimated total salary bill for the present financial year.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

Her Majesty's Customs and Excise has recently adopted a revised and improved method of attributing staff effort and costs to their activities. It is based on an annual functional analysis of the use of the

exercised by holders of voting shares in limited liability companies.

Mr. Denzil Davies

Building society shareholders receive copies of the society's balance sheet and the auditors' and directors' reports and have the right to requisition meetings, attend meetings, vote—either in person or by proxy—on resolutions, move resolutions or call for a poll of members on any question. They therefore have rights similar to those of holders of voting shares in limited liability companies, although voting rights are based on the principle of "one man one vote", not on the number of shares held.
