HC Deb 04 March 1982 vol 19 c219W
Mr. McWilliam

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to prevent unfair bidding for shares in a public company which is being privatised, whether by fixed price or tender, by virtue of the bidders' special insider knowledge of the likely value of the shares.

Mr. Ridley

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
