HC Deb 13 May 1980 vol 984 c439W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what was the value of the assets held by the National Enterprise Board on 3 May 1979; and what is the value of the assets that the National Enterprise Board has sold off since 3 May 1979.

Mr. Michael Marshall

No valuation has been made of the assets held by the board on 3 May 1979, but the board's annual report and accounts, laid before the House last week, show that it employed assets of £1,250.89 million on 31 December 1978 and £1,494.11 million on 31 December 1979, and that the proceeds of its sales since 3 May 1979 are about £37.2 million.
