HC Deb 27 February 1985 vol 74 c188W
32. Mr. Hayes

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether the performance of enterprises returned to the private sector in which his Department has retained a financial interest has improved or worsened.

Mr. Pattie

The performance of those enterprises returned to the private sector has justified our expectations. The general pattern is increased turnover and higher profits leading to increased investment.
