HC Deb 27 January 1988 vol 126 cc302-3W
Mr. Lord

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in the light of the establishment of the Atomic Energy Authority as a trading fund, any other authorities or Government organisations will be brought into the category of a trading fund.

Mr. Major

Trading fund status is an option for organisations whose operations make it a suitable method of financing. There are no firm proposals to establish additional trading funds at present, but cases will continue to be considered on their merits.
