HC Deb 18 March 1985 vol 75 c387W
Mr. Ron Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received concerning the activities of Castlebeg Ltd. in the purchase of freeholds in south Wales; what action he proposes in the light of these representations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

My Department has received two letters and some six telephone calls about Castlebeg Investments (Jersey) Limited. The issues involved are for the courts and in some cases, for the leasehold valuation tribunals to decide and I have no power to intervene. However, I am concerned about the alleged activities of this company and will be keeping a close watch on the situation.
