HC Deb 23 July 1990 vol 177 c39W
Mr. Alan Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if any appeal has been lodged against his decision, following the Monopolies and Mergers Commission report, to ban ties between electrical contractors and exhibition hall owners; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Redwood

An application for leave for judicial review of the Monopolies and Mergers Commission report on electrical contracting at exhibition halls in London has been filed by Earls Court and Olympia Ltd., Philbeach Events Ltd. and Ecando Ltd. I understand that they have received leave for judicial review and I expect papers to be served during the course of this week.
