HC Deb 08 May 1990 vol 172 c62W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will list the reasons for his decision not to publish the inspector's report on Alexander Howden Group plc which was completed on 26 June 1987.

Mr. Redwood

I have come to no such decision. The question of whether the inspectors' report into the affairs of Alexander Howden Group plc should he published is under consideration following the conclusion of criminal proceedings in relation to that company.
