HC Deb 15 November 1988 vol 140 c618W
3. Mr. Malcolm Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects his Department to complete its inquiry into the sale of the Royal Ordnance factories.

Mr. Sainsbury

My Department is conducting no such inquiry. We shall however be co-operating fully in the further examination which we understand the Comptroller and Auditor General is undertaking. How long this will take to complete is a matter for him.
