§ Mr. Gouldasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will publish a list of the firms with which British Telecom shares were placed at the beginning of the offer period; and if he will specify how many shares each firm underwrote.
§ Mr. Butcher[pursuant to the reply, 25 October 1985, c. 292]: All allocations made at the time of the British Telecom offer for sale, including placing allocations made to firms acting as priority applicants, were recorded in the company's share register. This is available for public inspection.
