HC Deb 25 July 1988 vol 138 cc22-3W
Mr. Ingram

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list the organisations which have submitted a bid to take over the National Engineering Laboratory, East Kilbride; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Butcher

My right hon. and learned Friend has received bids from a number of organisations interested in taking over the National Engineering Laboratory. Some of these organisations have asked not to be named, hence I do not propose to list them.
