Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he will make public the conditions attached to the financial guarantees for International Computers Limited.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

As my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State told my hon. Friend the Member for Surrey North-West (Mr. Grylls) on 26 March [Vol. 1, c.392], details of offers under section 8 of the Industry Act are commercially confidential to the parties involved, and it is not the practice to publish them.
