§ Mr. Gryllsasked the Secretary of State for Industry what contingency plans there are for the disposal to the private sector of viable element of BL Ltd.; and, if he has such plans, if he will place them in the Library prior to any such statement.
§ Mr. David MitchellThe only plan that the Government have before them relating to BL is the company's 1981 corporate plan. The Government will announce as soon as possible their decisions on the plan and on the associated funding request submitted by BL. Since the plan contains information which is commercially confidential, it cannot be placed in the Library.
