§ Mr. Galleyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what Government involvement there has been in the company United Medical Enterprises; and whether there is any current Government involvement.
§ Mr. ButcherI have been asked to reply.
United Medical Enterprises was a subsidiary of the National Enterprise Board until June 1983, when the 317W shares were sold to London and Northern Group. UME is now treated like any other private sector company by Government Departments with which it deals.
