HC Deb 08 February 1984 vol 53 c615W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether lie has made any estimate of the financial consequences of introducing private capital into the nationalised industries referred to in his answer to the hon. Member for Stirling (Mr. Forsyth) on 12 December, Official Report, c. 312.

Mr. Ridley

No decisions have yet been taken on the precise timing and method of introducing private capital into the industries concerned. Detailed estimates of the financial consequences are therefore not possible.
