HC Deb 13 November 1980 vol 992 cc337-8W
Mr. Eggar

asked the Secretary of State for Energy, pursuant to the Minister of State's reply to the hon. Member for Enfield, North on 10 November, from what source he received his confidential advice about the value of BNOC assets; why he regards such advice as confidential; when he expects to complete his review of BNOC; and if he will publish the advice when the review is completed.

Mr. Gray

This advice was tendered by experts from the City and elsewhere on the basis that it would remain confidential and for that reason I do not propose to disclose it. As to my review of BNOC, I refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave him on 3 November.—[Vol. 991, c. 947.]
