HC Deb 12 April 1983 vol 40 c383W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will take steps to allow public access to the records of the Industrial Reorganisation Corporation, at least in so far as the arrangements for the takeover of Bonser Engineering Ltd. by Dowty Mining Ltd. are concerned.

Mr. Butcher

The records concerned contain commercial information relating to the activities of several companies which was provided on a confidential basis to the Industrial Reorganisation Corporation. I therefore regret that I cannot yet make these records public.
