§ Mr. Shoreasked the Prime Minister (1) on what date in 1981 she first learned of Cementation's interest in the Oman university contract;
(2) on what date she first learned of Mr. Mark Thatcher's financial interest in the Cementation negotiation for the Oman contract.
§ The Prime MinisterThere is no record. But in any case I have made it absolutely clear that during my visit to Oman I raised Britain's general interest in all aspects of the university project—consultancy, construction and academic. I did not raise the interest of Cementation or of any other company which at that stage could have been interested in securing the right to negotiate on any aspect of the project.
