HC Deb 16 November 1981 vol 13 cc20-1W
38. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Energy why, before embarking on legislation in relation to making fundamental changes in the working of the British National Oil Corporation, he has decided not to publish and lay before the House detailed articles of association; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gray

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State proposes to follow the normal course of introducing legislation before embarking on detailed discussion of its implementation.
