HC Deb 15 February 1991 vol 185 c597W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what estimates he has available to him of the effect on potential first-time share buyers of the use of well-known recent television series characters in the flotation advertising campaigns for the electricity(a) distribution and (b) generating companies.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

No estimates of the effect of the advertising campaigns on first-time share buyers have been made. The purpose of the advertising campaigns has been to inform members of the general public about the flotations, whether or not they have bought shares before.
