§ Mr. Wardasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he has received the report by Professor Gower on investor protection; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. TebbitYes. I have today laid before the House as a Command Paper Professor Gower's review of investor protection part I. I am inviting interested parties to send my Department comments on the report so that these can be taken into account in considering what action should now be taken in response to Professor Gower's proposals. I am sure that the House would wish me to express its warm appreciation of Professor Gower's very substantial work on these questions.
