§ Mr. Barry FieldTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if he will list the co-operative retail societies registered at the Registry of Friendly Societies;
(2) if he will list the trading subsidiaries of those cooperative retail societies that do not include the word coop in their title.
§ Mr. LilleyA list of the co-operative retail societies registered at the Registry of Friendly Societies has been placed in the Library. Particulars of the trading subsidiaries for all these societies could only be extracted 875W from their annual returns at disproportionate cost. If my hon. Friend has a specific point in mind, perhaps he would write to me.
