HC Deb 28 November 1986 vol 106 cc397-8W
Mr. Gordon Brown

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has any proposal to sell Government shares in British Petroleum before April 1988.

Mr. Norman Lamont

As my right hon. Friend, the then Chief Secretary told the House on 14 March 1984 at column 420, it is the Government's policy to sell minority residual shareholdings, as the circumstances of the companies, prospectus undertakings and market conditions permit.
